The media tries to destroy Republicans who make little faux pas and they start telling everybody how dumb and stupid or uncaring they are. They're so self-absorbed, so selfish and so forth. With Obama, it's always, "There's nothing to see here, because he's a dream of a guy to begin with" and all that. "He missed the Gulf of Mexico? So what! He thinks there are 57 states? Big deal! At least he's trying; at least he cares," is the way it goes.

I don't have an ego that makes me believe the world revolves around me. I am not self-absorbed.

That's why I don't listen to other people on the radio, never have, 'cause I don't want to inadvertently, even unaware, end up repeating something somebody else has already said.

The power of branding, particularly when it comes to automobiles, is overwhelming. You go back to the seventies and eighties with the General Motor situation I was describing? Literally, folks, the Camaro and Firebird were identical cars but you'd so have the Firebird buyers, the Pontiacs, "No way I'm I buying that Camaro!" " It's the same car." "Nooooo, it is not. That is a Chevy and mine is a Pontiac."

The only people who need to be "giving back" are thieves, criminals and corrupt individuals that are taking things that are not theirs.

The absolutely worst thing that could happen to anybody in politics when they're appearing in public is to sweat.

War is worthless except for ending slavery, Nazism, fascism, and communism. Other than that, war is pointless.
