“The most powerful thing we own is our vote.”

I’ve always been me. I’ve always been very direct and have told the truth and have been very willing to stand up and speak out.

We can go back to economic plans that are only designed to benefit the wealthiest among us, like Mitt Romney.

From education to broadband, from building roads and bridges to supporting the military, Barack Obama is delivering for North Carolina. And he is delivering for America. A growing middle class is the foundation for a strong America.

Or we can keep moving forward with President Obama’s vision for a growing economy that works for middle-class families in North Carolina and all across the country. For me, for North Carolina and for America, it’s an easy choice.

Unlike Mitt Romney, President Obama is standing up for Planned Parenthood.

I have spent my tenure in office – and, in fact, my adult lifetime – fighting for things that I care deeply about. And as anyone who knows me will tell you, I do not back down from tough fights.

In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I’ve been able to hang around longer than most “serious” acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.

I try not to go the obvious route all the time, but sometimes the most obvious is actually the best.

Most important, they expect to bounce back and feel confident that they will.

Most teams today don’t take outfield practice.

I do have a self-censor; everybody does, or at least most who are not pathological do.

Most Americans don’t think about antitrust law when they look at their cable bill, flip channels on TV, or worry about what their favorite website knows about them. But they should.

I don’t believe in worrying over failures. I worry about successes. This is opposite from most people.

The most relaxing thing i do, hang halfway out a 3rd floor window, and look at rocks if i fall out.
