I have no problems with private schools. I graduated from one and so did my mother. Private schools are useful and we often use public funds to pay for their infrastructures and other common needs.

I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.

A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government.

People forget... that we structured it so that the government or the people would be repaid with a really good rate of return. And as it turns out that aspect of TARP that's what happened.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.
