“Folks know that while I respect Barack Obama and do not cheap-shot the president, I am very skeptical of his big government, nanny-state philosophy.”

When you walk with purpose, you collide with destiny.

Back in 1998, he [Tom Hanks] gave the maximum amount of money that he could to Bill Clinton’s defense fund. This is a man who was against gay marriage, as was Hillary Clinton.

Making mistakes is part of learning to choose well. No way around it. Choices are thrust upon us, and we don’t always get things right.

We do know that the Bandido gang in Houston does drug deal. There are a bunch of people being convicted for heavyweight narcotics trafficking from the gang.

Among top grandmasters the Dutch is a rare defense, which is good reason to play it! It has not been studied very deeply by many opponents, and theory, based on a small number of ‘reliable’ games, must be rather unreliable.

I like Barack Obama as a person and I think he is a sincere man. I think he and his wife conducted themselves magnificently in the White House. There’s not a better role model for American kids to watch Barack and Michelle Obama, so all of that is off-the-chart positive.

All I ask is for powerful people to respond honestly to the questions, and if they can’t, explain why.

And the voters, many of them, feel that the economic system is stacked against them and they want stuff. You are going to see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama.

President Obama is a utopian at heart. He wants to improve the lives of the downtrodden, which is a good thing.

One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.

Labels cloud our vision and distract us from seeing how much we have in common with one another.

At times you have to fight. No way around it. At some point, every one of us is confronted with danger or injustice.

I’m a sensationalist. I’m a big mouth. I get attention. In this world you have to – if you want a mass-market presentation, you have to get attention.

There comes a time when a human being has to either face evil or admit to allowing it. Abortion is legal in the United States, but it should not be celebrated or used as a political tool. Viable babies are human beings.

What really matters in a workplace, what helps an employer if you’ve got a unionised workforce is if your shop stewards know the rules of the game, if your safety reps are taught to be able to examine situations to make sure the workplace is more safety.

My job is to watch the powerful. It’s a simple job description, watch powerful people and make sure they don’t hurt the folks.

When I talk about the assets, that was at the beginning of the talks.

I was president then. I’m not president now. When I said it, this would be a sign of goodwill to begin the talks.

I’m raising a daughter. I want to be able to say to her, “You can be anything you want. You can be the President of the United States.” I’d love that.

I think Donald Trump should cool down a little bit. To pay more attention to the history. To really understand what U.S.’s value is about. I think, as a president, those things you always have to ask.

Mr President, I have decided not to speak the entire speech which I have.
