You have to make change.

President Obama is funny, he's thoughtful, he's challenging, he's fun to work with - and it's been an extraordinary privilege.

We are patriots in my family, we are believers in America, we're believers in democracy.

I don't get drunk, I get a little happy on rare occasion, and I'm probably dancing if I'm that happy.

I'm apologetic when I feel like I've made a mistake. And when I have done a disservice to myself or someone else. But I don't feel a need to apologize for doing or saying something that I think needs to be said, just because it may not sit comfortably with somebody else.

I am blunt sometimes; I am diplomatic sometimes; I am all things in between. Abrasive, you know, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

Governing is different than campaigning, and that comes with a whole different level of responsibility.
