I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.

It is my view that we cannot conduct foreign policy at the extremes.

Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be Vice President of the United States of America. Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. She is qualified to be President of the United States of America. She's easily qualified to be Vice President of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me.

If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them.

Mark my words.It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking.
