I've made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and is not interfering with Iran's affairs.
code for 'I'm running for president. I plan on talking to Governor Palin very soon. She is an important and galvanizing voice in the Republican Party. I believe she will be very helpful to the party this year as we wage critical campaigns in Virginia and New Jersey
I mean, Kobe's terrific. Don't get me wrong ... But I haven't seen anybody match up with Jordan yet.
Senate passes expanded GI bill despite Bush, McCain opposition
As I've said from the moment that I walked into the door of this White House, it took years for us to get into this mess, and it will take us more than a few months to turn it around
It’s become a cliché to say the Roberts court is about the expansion of executive power ... and I think it’s true of these environmental cases as well. The court gave the Bush administration discretion. That certainly leaves the Obama administration with discretion to act as well.
I think that Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers ... His brilliance as a performer also was paired with a tragic and, in many ways, sad personal life.
On behalf of the Republican Party of Florida and Republicans across the state, I would like to thank Governor Palin for her service to our Party ...

We also pointed out that we are much more unified than we used to be, and so we hope our needs will be taken into account ... And that we watch legislation, we watch what politicians say. And we think that it could be beneficial to the Administration for them to take our point of view into account, just...
I grew up on his music ... I still have all his stuff on my iPod.
It was the first time a nontheistic group met privately with the White House ... So in large part we just got to know each other to have them learn more about our constituency, how many people we represent.

Joe Lieberman famously talked about the constitution providing for freedom of religion but not freedom from religion -- and questioned the possibility of non-believers to be ethical human beings ... Suffice it to say we were never invited as an identity group into the Bush White House. But interestingly...
In addition, my administration is committed to rescinding the discriminatory ban on entry to the United States based on HIV status
It could be that Obama did not know. But I am sure the ambassador of the United States in Honduras [Hugo Llorens], who is the same as [former U.S. President George W.] Bush's, knew about the coup
I don't think that outstanding businesses that are doing good work in Tennessee are going to be disadvantaged; I think they will be advantaged
Maybe there is a personal reason of some sort ... But barring that, if it's a political move geared at 2012, it's one of the most politically tone-deaf moves in years.

But in the months since the Republican defeat in November, the Alaska governor has shown time and again a high level of frustration with the baggage that has come with becoming such a high-profile governor and national celebrity ...
