We are in a very critical and sensitive time in this nation. We need our president to sit down with folks who have a personal experience, a deep connection to the horror and the pain of this country`s provocative racial history.

Without that personal connection to the painful past, it will be hard for him to regain that moral authority from my perspective.

Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people.

The president is under 50 percent approval ratings in all the battleground states. So, you could say that President Obama is defying gravity by still being in a dead heat with Mitt Romney.

When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade.

Those who knew him, his secretaries, have written that he was deeply hurt by what was said about him and drawn about him, but on the other hand, Lincoln had the great strength of character never to display it, always able to stand tall and strong and firm no matter how harsh or unfair the criticism might be. These elements of greatness, of course, inspire us all today.

I'll give President Obama credit that he's dealing with big issues. I've seen administrations come to town and only deal with the little ones.
