It's like Tiger Woods' wife, we should take a nine iron to the back windshield of big government spending and smash it out.

We understand that athletes aren't necessarily role models, but we at least expect them to abide by the basic laws of the state.

President Obama said that he designed Obamacare after Romneycare and basically made it Obamneycare.

I've come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young. But later on, that decision doesn't look so good, and you wonder: what was I thinking? But the worst part is you're still going to have to explain it to your kids.

I give the president credit for at least one thing. He's proven that someone can deserve a Nobel prize less than Al Gore.

You can stick a fork in Barack Obama. Politically, he's done. The main way we can screw this up is if we choose the wrong Republican.

A great deal has been said about my commitment not to raise taxes. It's a core value - it's common sense - it's important to keeping and growing jobs - and it's mainstream!

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

Barack Obama's failed us. But look, it's understandable. A lot of people fail at their first job.
