I'm worried about that man or woman sitting around - the coffee table tonight or in their kitchen talking about how are we going to get to work. How are we going to have the dignity to take care of our family.

Like I said I'm more worried long term about the environmental issues then the use of arms.

It was depressing very depressing. I worried about how I would make a living. I didn't want to stay on the farm. It didn't offer the challenge I wanted and yet without a college education I felt that I was really out of luck.

It's never been an issue for me - I don't want to go on a diet I don't want to eat a Caesar salad with no dressing why would I do that? I ain't got time for this just be happy and don't be stupid. If I've got a boyfriend and he loves my body then I'm not worried.

Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.

A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man's brow.

In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents worried five of them to death impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails we hold an election and assassinate their character.

I'm worried because of my mother she's going to see my performance and she's quite hard. She's going to see me naked. And my Dad woah. Yeah they're going to see me like a woman you know?

And I love that even in the toughest moments when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom and courage and grace.

Obama won the presidency on the strength of his message and the skills of the messenger. Now the talk of hope and change feels out of tune when so many Americans are out of work over-mortgaged and worried that life will be even tougher for their children.
