There's no smarter politician out there than Bill Clinton.

I became a Republican in the summer of 1972. I was involved in running President Nixon's re-election campaign in California and became part of his administration at the start of his second term.

Television is such a staple of modern society that for most voters, it's not real unless it's on the tube.

I believe in sometimes getting mad and always getting even.

The American economy is driven by small business. And there's nothing basically to create incentives for small businesses. We've done no tax reform. They're the highest-taxed group in the country. And corporations can go anywhere they want and do whatever they want. Small businesses have to stay.

I think to a certain extent, Clinton may have expected as the senior president that Obama would've reached out to him and asked for his council he's done that very little. So, I think the relationship has not been good over the years.

By the time you get to year six, there's never a break . . . and you get tired. There's always a crisis. It wears you down. This has been a White House that hasn't really had much change at all. There is a fatigue factor that builds up. You sometimes don't see the crisis approaching. You're not as on guard as you once were.

I am not predicting here that Obama will fail like Jimmy Carter. What I am predicting is the Republican Party is not extinct and will after a period of time become a strong opposition party.
