How does it become a man to behave towards the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

What President Bush has done speaks more than words about his feeling of compassion and commitment to people.

You know, President Obama feels very strongly that the government has a responsibility to engage with the American people, as well as with the world community.

Anyone who assumes that this country is standing still is not a good American, or rather, he is an apathetic and dead one and makes no contribution to the society.

I would not say that George Bush doesn't care about people at all. I think that his loyalties are to the upper class.

I don't think President Bush is doing anything at all about Aids. In fact, I'm not sure he even knows how to spell Aids.

I am deeply concerned about America.

America is living through the third economic revolution and our country doesn't really have a plan on how to deal with it, and when it does - like the president sort of outlined when he first got here - we have a Congress who seem incapable of acting on it.

Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.
