As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

President Obama's view of a free economy is to send your money to his friends. My vision for a free enterprise economy is to return entrepreneurship and genius and creativity to the American people!

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

If American men are obsessed with money American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain the women talk of loss and I do not know which talk is the more boring.

It is money money money! Not ideas not principles but money that reigns supreme in American politics.

I think there's a danger of a being typecast as the all-American mom forever.

You know that I am living proof that the American Dream is real. Growing up our congressman cut through government bureaucratic red tape to help my mom buy our first house. That's the kind of congressman I'll be.

I do believe that there are African Americans who have thick accents. My mom has a thick accent my relatives have thick accents. But sometimes you have to adjust when you go into the world of film TV theatre in order to make it accessible to people.

President Obama likes to talk about the Buffett Rule. Well here's a Buffett Rule that all Americans should be able to support: mom and pop businesses should not pay a higher tax rate than Fortune 500 corporations like Warren Buffett's.

This is the place where anybody - like an African American kid raised by a single mom - can be president.
