Barack Obama's ability to seduce people is well-known. He can bring his biggest critics into a room and have them coming out singing his praises. He's a charismatic and congenital liar.

Blatant hostility and racism toward whites is common among black youth.

When I was growing up in Alabama in the '50s, even though we were poor and the laws were against blacks, we still had a sense of morality.

Barack Obama is no fan of the military.

It is faith that drives us to build, a belief that we cannot be limited by lack of nerve or airspace.

Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

I try to speak of a love that not necessarily romantic. I think there is so much love between people and so much love people want to give but it's harder and harder these days to show that, to celebrate that, you know?

I consider myself a Christian. I attend church. My faith has sustained me in very difficult times.
