I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs.
Everybody knows they're on the Obama team: There isn't vice presidential vs. presidential division there's not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.
History is littered with wars which everybody knew would never happen.
The Deep South has a completely different history both good and bad that is fascinating for everybody. It makes people work together who usually don't and that sounds like a cliche in so many ways but it actually happened... and it happened because of a beautiful idea.
Everybody likes Johnny Cash. I think the sad part of it is his health is givin' him problems.

In order to lead a country or a company you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody green economy regulations - can't have a bunch of piece-meal activities. It's got to have a vision.
I think it's horrible that people have to be told. Don't smoke! Everybody knows it's bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.
In societies where mature workers are respected and where their wisdom is respected everybody benefits. Workers are more engaged and productive. Their health is better. They live longer.
I don't get a sense of American pride. I just get a sense that everyone is here battling the same thing - that around the world everybody's after the same thing just some minor piece of happiness each day.
