Most White Houses believe that a leak is an uncontrolled revelation where they're not in control of it. Otherwise, it's associated with implementation of policy.

My impression of what they're trying to do after the first few days is to recover exactly the kind of performance that they say they're good at, which is essentially an executive-style leadership. That is to say, 'We've got good people in all the top positions, we're hierarchical, we plan.' That's how they're trying to recover. You go with your strength to a point of weakness.

No one is a failure until they blame somebody else.

I wouldn't even venture to say how things are going to look a year from now. So much can happen. This may turn out to be an advantage more than a disadvantage for Republicans. This is the wrong time to make that judgment, even though there's pressure to do it.

We had children lying everywhere. They had all been shot.

We didn't come to play tonight. They came out and played harder than we did.

Traditionally our slowest month, August saw a material increase of 61.9 percent in new software license revenue compared to August of fiscal year 2005.

Today's announcement provides outstanding opportunity for all of our key stakeholders,

While our first quarter is traditionally a lower revenue quarter due to the seasonality of our business, license revenue was also adversely influenced by an apparent spillover into August,

Truman got some of the lowest poll numbers any president ever got. Now when we look back on Truman, he's the highest ranked of the post-World War II presidents.

The party was about activism. Yeah, they talked a lot of smack, probably cursed a little too much, but those were the days. But they were about taking action.

There's a point at which as president you can't game out everything. You've got to go to the core of your own way of doing things. This is a nominee, I would guess, in whom he has confidence and senses in his own mind that she has got the qualities for the job.

It's like a permanent campaign. You need to sell yourself on each policy.

It's like margarine in the sense that we're spread very thinly. And we often find that we're competing with businesses that are much larger. We're constantly facing the struggle of scale and size.

Everyone has a success mechanism and a failure mechanism. The failure mechanism goes off by itself. The success mechanism only goes off with a goal. Every time we write down and talk about a goal we push the button to start the success mechanism.

The Black Panther Party armed themselves. They didn't back down from that.

It's certainly worth the effort, but it's damned hard to do.

It's hurt him, and it's hurt him where he has always believed he had great strength, and that's in executive management. This looks like they don't know what they are doing.

It used to be thousands of people hanging out on the streets, getting ready for the parade with their kids and stuff. Kids are all in school somewhere else now. It's not really a family event today. Just people who've been able to come back, working. It's really sad.

In a time when his party almost never exceeded 51 percent of the seats in the House, he was able time and again to command the discipline to deliver. He was always playing on the edge, and people who play on the edge, and are effective, become targets.

If you're not legal, you don't need to wait on this,

I really don't hang with the type of people that would have trouble with the police. I'm kind of low key and stay to myself. I haven't heard of anybody else saying anything wrong, either. As far as the racial stuff, I don't really have a comment on that. I couldn't tell you.
