Mark My Words. It Will Not Be Six Months Before The World Tests Barack Obama Like They Did John Kennedy.

America Is The Promised Land, Because Each Generation Bequeathed To Its Children A Promise, A Promise That They Might Not Come To Enjoy But Which They Fully Expected Their Offspring To Fulfill. So The Words 'all Men Are Created Equal' Took A Life Of Its Own, Ultimately Destined To End Slavery And Enfranchise Women. And The Words 'equal Protection' And 'due Process' Inevitably Led To The End Of The Words 'separate But Equal,' Ensuring That The Walls Of Segregation Would Crumble, Whether At The Lunch Counter Or At The Voting Booth.

First Of All, There Are Persians And Arabs. The Fact They Share A Religion, A Shiite Religion, Does Not Mean That They're Close. It Doesn't Work That Way.

Some Studies Have Shown Close To 70 Percent Of Men Who Are In Prison Have One Of Two Things In Common: One, They Can't Read. And Two, They Witnessed Violence Or Were Victims Of Violence As A Child. You Would Think That If You Had Seen Your Mother Get Beaten When You Were 10 Years Old, You'd Never Raise Your Hand To A Woman. Not True. The Prospect That You Will Increases Dramatically If You Witness Violence. So It's So Much Bigger Than Just About Women. It's About Our Society. It's About Our Culture. It's About Who The Hell We Are.

I Don't Think Any Man Or Woman Should Run For President Unless, Number One, They Know Exactly Why They Would Want To Be President, And Two, They Can Look At Folks Out There And Say, 'i Promise You Have My Whole Heart, My Whole Soul, My Energy, And My Passion.

It's Why We Oppose Citizens United From That Right-wing Supreme Court. In 2012, I Also Said The Tea Party "acted Like Terrorists" And Called A Donut Shop Manager In Milwaukee Who Wanted Lower Taxes A "smartass." And I Said The Number One Issue Is A Three-letter Word, J-o-b-s." I'm Proud Of Who I Am.

My Dad Always Said, 'champ, The Measure Of A Man Is Not How Often He Is Knocked Down, But How Quickly He Gets Up.'

Partitioning Iraq Is Inevitable, As Shown By History.

I Never Had An Interest In Being A Mayor ’cause That’s A Real Job. You Have To Produce. That’s Why I Was Able To Be A Senator For 36 Years.

Instead, By Exploiting The Politics Of Fear, Instigating An Optional War In Iraq Before Finishing A Necessary War In Afghanistan And Instituting Policies On Torture, Detainees And Domestic Surveillance That Fly In The Face Of Our Values And Interests, President Bush Divided Americans From Each Other And From The World.

Our Future Cannot Depend On The Government Alone. The Ultimate Solutions Lie In The Attitudes And The Actions Of The American People.

I Believe The American People Have A Genuine And Justifiable Fear Of Government Intrusion In What They Instinctively Know Is Going To Be An Ever More Intrusive World.

Now, People When I Say That Look At Me And Say, 'what Are You Talking About, Joe? You're Telling Me We Have To Go Spend Money To Keep From Going Bankrupt?'. The Answer Is Yes, That's What I'm Telling You.

Every Single Morning Since I've Been 27 Years Old, I've Got Up And Someone's Handed Me A Card Like The One I Have In My Pocket With The Schedule On It, Of All The Things I'm Gonna Do. I Don't Know What To Do If I Didn't Have That Card.

Every Single Great Idea That Has Marked The 21st Century, The 20th Century And The 19th Century Has Required Government Vision And Government Incentive.

Politics Is A Damn Expensive Business. I Had One Hell Of A Time Trying To Raise Money As A Candidate. I Had To Put A Second Mortgage On Our House To Get That Campaign Started, And I Ended Up Spending Over $300,000 To Get Elected. I Believe That Public Financing Of Federal Election Campaigns Is The Only Thing That Will Insure Good Candidates And Save The Two-party System. It Is The Most Degrading Thing In The World To Go Out With Your Hat In Your Hand And Beg For Money, But That's What You Have To Do If You Haven't Got Your Own Resources.

If I Can Invent A Phrase Then This Democrat [bernie] Sanders Takes Her [hillary Clinton] Off The Hook On The Emails. Could There Still Be An Fbi Indictment? Probably Not.

And One Of The Things, And I Feel Proud To Be, What This President's For, The Last Seven Years, Is We Have Once Again Aligned Our Basic Fundamental Beliefs And Principles With Our Conduct. And It Matters. It Matters In Terms Of Our Security. It Matters In Terms Of Our Ability To Influence The World. It Matters In Our Ability To Succeed.

Would Colonel [bernie] Sanders Honeymoon In The Soviet Union?

There Is No Question That I Would Be The Better President. But As For The Campaign, Are Americans Ready For A General Election In Which Both Major Party Candidates Are Add? Quite Frankly, It Could Provide An Opening For A Third Party Candidate, Maybe Someone Backed By The Evil Koch Brothers.

The Devastating Punch We Took On September 11th Still Reverberates Throughout American Society.

You Cannot Go To A 7-eleven Or A Dunkin' Donuts Unless You Have A Slight Indian Accent.

The Truth Is, My Dad Was A Great Driver. I Mean, He Could Handle An Automobile. He Loved Speed. He Used To Joke That His One Regret Was He Didn't Join The Volunteer Fire Service So He Could Drive The Ambulance.

The Most Powerful Military In The World Cannot Invade, Kill Or Capture A Network Or Destroy Every Loose Weapon On The Planet. The Best Response To This Network Of Terror Is To Build A Network Of Our Own -- A Network Of Like-minded Countries And Organizations That Pools Resources, Information, Ideas, And Power. Taking On The Radical Fundamentalists Alone Isn't Necessary, It Isn't Smart, And It Won't Succeed.

I Should Start With An Apology To Rudy Giuliani. I Said Every Sentence Rudy Utters Has A Noun, A Verb, And 9/11 In It. I Was Wrong. He Called Me To Tell Me After Pat Robertson's Endorsement, There's An Amen In Every Sentence He Says Too.

My Dad Sold Automobiles As A General Manager Of A General Motors Automobile Dealership. He Was A Job Creator. Everyone Of Those Cars He Sold He Created A Job For Somebody On The Assembly Line.

You Turn On The Television, It's Like, "woah Is Me! God Almighty, We're Awful." We Are So Down And Out We Are - Name Me A Country In The World, Name Me One Leader Anywhere In The World Who Wouldn't Trade Places In A Heartbeat. We By Far, We're Going To Own The 21st Century.

This Administration [of Barack Obama] Favors A Pluralistic World And Respects Cultural Differences, So It's Wrong For The West And American Elitists To Judge How Women Are Treated Under Sharia.
