Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little.

When people think, Democrats win.

Frankly, I'm fed up with politicians in Washington lecturing the rest of us about family values. Our families have values. But our government doesn't.

I am grateful to President George W. Bush for PEPFAR, which is saving the lives of millions of people in poor countries and to both Presidents Bush for the work we've done together after the South Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake.

It's important that the American people understand that President has proposed and passed this stimulus plan not as the end-all and be-all to our economic woes but as our bridge over troubled water until we get the finance system, the banking system working again.

The most profound security threat we face today is global warming....climate change has the capacity to change the way all of us live.

Pessimism is an excuse for not trying and a guarantee to a personal failure.
