I think when those hearings are held or completed, public opinion will be such that he will be removed from office with full bipartisan support.
What the Republican establishment hoped would be a runaway did not happen, ... They wanted to shut down the race.
I think that's why the Federal Reserve has to say explicitly it will provide sufficient liquidity to get this economy moving again, ... The Fed has been behind the curve.
I think the White House knows once those hearings start, he's doomed.
The American administration is making a major mistake, trying to pressure the Chinese. I wish we'd back off.
We have had an exceptional response to this year's conference and I look forward to discussing some important business issues with all of the delegates during the three day event,
Tax-cutter John F. Kennedy was right: A rising tide does indeed lift all boats. From 2005 to 2015 the flat tax would generate $56 billion more in net government income tax revenue than the current tax code, according to Fiscal Associates, whose forecasts are based on the method, in increasing use today, of dynamic analysis.

The federal income tax code and all of its attendant rules and regulations: 9 million words and rising.

I think the idea of trying to demonize Governor Romney's going to backfire. Their attempts so far have failed pretty outstandingly and I think at the end of the day, people are going to say, 'what was Obama's record?' Governor Romney's got pro-growth Reaganesque proposals on the table.
The rise of China as a new power is another great challenge for the US. Our failure to properly handle Germany and Japan earlier in the 20th century cost us and the world dearly. We must not make this same mistake with China.
