I have faith in God, and I have faith in the fairness of the American people.
One of the greatest falsehoods of American politics over the past several decades is that the Republican party is the party of fiscal responsibility.
When Jefferson and the Republicans rallied to the Union and to the existing Federalist organization, the fabric of traditional American democracy was almost completely woven.
I was influenced by Ray Harryhausen and Lotte Reiniger, with her twitchy, cutout animation, which I happened to see at a very young age, but also by the Warner Bros. cartoons, 'Tom and Jerry,' and of course Disney. And also by Fellini's 'Giulietta of the Spirits' and Kurosawa's 'Ran.' And by other American illustrators and painters.
Every single American deserves to be treated equally by their fellow Americans and under the law.
My fellow citizens, the American Presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.
I had gone to all the big stories of the '80s, which was one of the most fertile times in American journalism, around the world and here as well.
Osama bin Laden fervently hoped that attacking the United States would create pressure on American leaders to reduce their support for Middle Eastern regimes. Bin Laden believed that without that American support, the Arab regimes would collapse and would be replaced by Taliban-style rulers.
Tariffs that save jobs in the steel industry mean higher steel prices, which in turn means fewer sales of American steel products around the world and losses of far more jobs than are saved.
I was influenced by American movies of the '60s and '70s, especially Don Siegel's 'Dirty Harry' and the films of Sam Peckinpah. And, of course, a lot of the film noir movies of the '40s.

One of the most constant aspects of American life is change - and nowhere is it more evident than in our financial markets.
Petraeus is the finest general I have ever worked for; Holly Petraeus is a great American hero.
Before any American points a finger at President Putin and calls him nasty names, they should recognize that a lot of Americans agree with Putin on his stance against homosexual and transgender people.
Even if you buy a Finnish, Korean or American phone - it will be Ericsson on the inside.
The American people must be assured that no federal agency can trample their First Amendment rights.
The first phase of American political history was characterized by the conflict between the Federalists and the Republicans, and it resulted in the complete triumph of the latter.
I am a huge, raving fan of writer Matt Fraction. His semi-indie 'Casanova' series is an ongoing masterpiece of 21st-century American comics - and his run on 'Immortal Iron Fist' with Ed Brubaker was pure, yummy martial-arts-fantasy deliciousness.
I'm a third-generation American, so I like that American-looking, Northwestern style with a flannel or jean shirt.
As president, I would promote a Fair and Flat Tax plan, known as the 'EZ Tax.' My tax plan would be the largest tax cut in American history, reforming individual, business, and worker taxes.
