Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.

I guess the President says the majority of the people didn't elect him, he doesn't have to listen to 'em anyway.

All it takes to become president is money and a certain kind of power. Being president is the first thing I can shoot for, not the highest. It may come to a point where people take rock and roll musicians more seriously than they take politicians. It may eventually turn out that musicians have more credibility.

I think people across America want a leader who's actually going to listen to them.

A President cannot always be popular.

The American people on the ground need a clearer, stronger, Lyndon B. Johnson-type voice from their president. Obama has that voice. It has to be used.

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

The great power the president has is that he is the most prominent person in the biggest media event on the planet. He has the attention of the nation and the world. When he speaks, everybody listens.

If America wants to retain its position as a global power, its president must listen to the people and show strong leadership at this turning point in human history.

I think if you're going to get anything done in the Senate, you have to be on the same sheet of music. If you don't get people on the same sheet of music it comes out pretty horrible.
