a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor , who would unify us. This controversial nominee . . . will get very careful scrutiny from the Senate and from the American people.
I drive an American car. It's a Chrysler. That's not an endorsement. It's more like a cry for pity.
Nobody had a credit card when I was a kid. No one had credit card debt. But these big companies and banks wanted to know how to get more money out of people - get them charging things.
We are the richest country in the world. We spend more on health care than any other country. Yet we have the worst health care in the Western world. Come on. We can do better than this.
I went without health insurance until 'Roger & Me,' basically - from about age 20 till about age 35. With 'Roger & Me,' I joined the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild, and since then I've had excellent health care managed by the union.

I hadn't even thought about it -- you're making me nervous.
I'm happy that he's taken the steps that I, and others, have pushed for. The biggest change is for them to say they will employ no one under the age of 18. I've been pushing for that for over a year now, so I'm very happy that he's come this far, this fast. I honestly didn't think that five weeks after the movie came out they would do this.
