I supported Obama because of his relationships. A lot of the things he believes in, you would say that it’s not in the best interest for someone in my tax bracket, but it’s not about that. It’s about him making the world better and making it equal and even all around, and that’s what I’m supporting when I supported Obama.

Barack Obama strikes me as a man of strong principles and weak convictions – the kind of guy who would rather teach constitutional law than practice it, or who’d rather watch the match alone on TV than arm-wrestle his opponents.
Bill MoyersBill Moyers I think that the terrible, disgraceful coverage actually got Donald Trump elected, along with Hillary Clinton’s inability to connect with voters on any level. That’s another thing, she was a terrible candidate.
Bill O'ReillyBill O'Reilly It’s very difficult to pin down the President of the United States without subpoena powers.
Bill O'ReillyBill O'Reilly 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.
Bev PerdueBev Perdue 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.
