I Would Meet Directly With The Leadership

For Me, Lincoln Is Like Just A Handful Of People - A Gandhi, Or A Picasso, Or A Martin Luther King Jr. - Who Is An Original And Captures Something Essential.

It Is Easy To Get To A Higher Number When You Are Not Asking Anything Difficult From Yourself.

Lincoln, They Used To Talk About Him Almost As Bad As They Talk About Me. So Democracy Has Never Been For The Faint Of Heart.

Libraries Remind Us That Truth Isn't About Who Yells The Loudest, But Who Has The Right Information. Because Even As We're The Most Religious Of People, America's Innovative Genius Has Always Been Preserved Because We Also Have A Deep Faith In Facts.

I Believe In Evolution, Scientific Inquiry, And Global Warming; I Believe In Free Speech, Whether Politically Correct Or Politically Incorrect, And I Am Suspicious Of Using Government To Impose Anybody's Religious Beliefs -including My Own- On Nonbelievers.
