The world needs a true leader, an Obama that promotes peace and understanding in the world.

Castro has been a teacher for me. A master. Not on ideology but on strategy.

The immoral veto of the United States allowed the Israelis, with impunity, to destroy Lebanon. Right in front of all of us as we stood there watching, a resolution in the council was prevented.

I will be very sad and worried if the imperialist government was calling me a great democratic man.

The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.

I intend to vote against authorizing the president to use military force in Syria. The Obama Administration has not provided a clear or convincing strategy for inserting our military into the conflict. I am also deeply concerned about the extent to which al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists are involved in the rebellion.

I've been watching and involved in presidential politics since 1960 when I first voted, and the Republican, the conservative candidate in the primary is always going to lean right and come back to the center for the general - the opposite for the Democrat.

I got into politics a little bit by chance, as a person from the first generation of the Solidarity movement.
