This will arguably be the third great revolution of America, if we can prove that we literally can live without having a dominant European culture.

The American people have now spoken, but it's going to take a little while to determine what they've said.

You can't say you love your country and hate your government.

When you're president, you have more power to help more people, but you also are the prisoner of circumstances as well, and countervailing political forces more.

Where are the jobs going to come from?Small business, manufacturing and clean energy. Where's the money to finance them? The banks and the corporations in America today have lots of money that they can invest right now.

Well, first of all, I think that a lot of the voters who are voting for the tea party candidates have really good impulses. That is, they believe that for years and years and years, the people with wealth and power or government power have done well and ordinary people have not. That's true.

Life's real victories must be shared.
