I think the ethical standards established in this White House have been the highest in the history of the White House.
Cigarette smoking is a significant contributor to global warming!
Eventually we'll use a CO2 tax offset by a reduction in taxes elsewhere alongside a cap-and-trade plan, but the degree of difficulty associated with a CO2 tax far exceeds that with a cap-and-trade plan.

I'm not trying to top anything. I'm trying to be useful, to play a positive role, to serve the public interest.
Those who are quick to feel disrespected often have a spiritual vacuum in their lives, because they feel disconnected to the love of their Father in Heaven.
I'm asking you in your sermons to do the work of the Lord here on earth. I ask for your help in getting that message out urgently tomorrow.
