They threw in the obvious, ultimate fear bomb

When all else fails, be afraid of his name, and what that could stand for, because it’s different

Barack Obama will be the kind of leader we need right now, not in four years or eight years or 12 years. We can’t wait to get this right. We need it to happen today

Note: I don’t watch the mainstream media, and I have no idea who used his middle name. I have heard it all now. Why is it that the only time I hear of “fear” or “race” being a factor, it’s the Obama camp saying something about it not being a factor?

“The notion that the Clinton campaign would be trying to circulate this as a negative on the same day that Senator Clinton was giving a speech about how we repair our relationships around the world is sad”

“The notion that they would try to use this to imply in some way that I’m foreign, I think is, you know, unfortunate”

“These are the kinds of political tricks and silliness you start seeing at the end of campaigns”

A certain Western director was very naive and made an unreasonable move toward the issue of the Beijing Olympics

This is perhaps because of his unique Hollywood characteristics

This renowned film director is famous for his science fiction. But now it seems he lives in a world of science fiction and he can’t distinguish a dream from reality

Cuba’s future should be determined by the Cuban people and not by an anti-democratic successor regime. The prompt release of all prisoners of conscience wrongly jailed for standing up for the basic freedoms too long denied to the Cuban people would mark an important break with the past. It’s time for these heroes to be released

I think this provides a great opportunity for the people of Cuba. I’m hoping that the new leadership will take steps to move Cuba toward democracy, release political prisoners, lift a lot of the oppressive burdens that have prevented the Cuban people from really having the kind of future that they deserve to have

“We must press the Cuban regime to release all political prisoners unconditionally, to legalize all political parties, labor unions and free media, and to schedule internationally monitored elections”

I may be killing my political career, but I know this — if we don’t start thinking in terms of solving some of America’s problems, we’re killing all of your careers

What I mean by that, I’m just saying there are a lot of people who say I’m staying and creating problems for the party, and there are obviously people in the party who are unhappy that I’ve stayed. Now, keep in mind, they’re all supporting John McCain, but this sense that it’s just his turn, let’s just all step aside — I find that insulting as a Republican, and as a candidate

I think the worse thing is not getting the right candidate nominated for the contest. So, if we haven’t had a candidate who has rallied enough delegates to be named, then maybe it should go to the convention

I live and work in New York and have had a private life — at least, did until about five weeks ago

The full stretch of my political aspiration is to help her be my president

I’m 27. I’m not going to be moving back in with parents, as much as I love them

In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit

Something is happening in America, and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap

I’ve been very impressed with the campaign of Senator Obama, he’s getting better and better every single day

“Nothing justifies the kind of debasing language that David Shuster used and no temporary suspension or half-hearted apology is sufficient”

“I would urge you to look at the pattern of behavior on your network that seems to repeatedly lead to this sort of degrading language”

“There’s a lot at stake for our country in this election. Surely, you can do your jobs as journalists and commentators and still keep the discourse civil and appropriate”

“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should, I’ve got Greenspan’s book”

“I’m going to be honest; I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated”

“The idea that we can afford to have a big fight at the convention and then win the race in the next eight weeks, I think, is not a good scenario”

“I think we will have a nominee sometime in the middle of March or April. But if we don’t, then we’re going to have to get the candidates together and make some kind of an arrangement”

(Note: Some kind of an arrangement? Isn’t that what the convention is for in the first place? Why does he want to remove the power of selection from the delegates?)

“Because I don’t think we can afford to have a brokered convention — that would not be good news for either party”
