It's always written that my father was a rich, conservative John Bircher. That is untrue. He was not rich. He was not a John Bircher.

I don't talk about political matters. That's not my department.

I see the first lady as another means to keep a president from becoming isolated.

Presidents don't get vacations - they just get a change of scenery. The job goes with you.

I favor capital punishment. It saves lives.

I don't really yell at people.

My mother was a Democrat - southern Democrat, y'all.
