I want to deploy the leadership to meet the challenges that face us and to restore America's greatness.

Leadership is something I was born with.

The more I have studied Lincoln the more I have followed his thought processes the more I am convinced that he understood leadership better than any other American president.

In fact the converse is true: At a time when the United States has been called on for a level of moral leadership vision and inspiration not seen since World War II we cannot afford to dissemble about crimes against humanity.

Among my activities was membership in the Boy Scouts I rose each year through the ranks eventually achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and undertaking leadership roles in the organization.

One of the surest signs of the estimated changes in the consciousness of the American proletariat is to be found in the character of the demands now being put forward by the leadership.

Dr. King's leadership reaffirmed the promise of our democracy: that everyday people working together have the power to change our government and our institutions for the better.

I think our leadership team is a highly accountable leadership team.

Well I've ruffled a few feathers at all the institutions I've led. But I think that's part of leadership.

There is no international problem that can be addressed or solved without the engagement and leadership of the United States and everybody in the world knows that its just fact of life. So sometimes I think we could conduct ourselves with a little more humility.
