The young Obama's lack of playing time on the high school basketball team was due more to his ability than the coach's preference for white players. ↗

Obama has made America cool again - and more than that, he's made his own brand arguably the most powerful the world has ever known. ↗

Obama has become too dependent on formal speeches and set town halls. His idea of mixing it up is taking off his jacket. ↗

Obama seems like he tries to talk everyone into what he believes - and that's part of why we elected him, because he's a calm, reasonable guy - but behind that, there has to be some fight. You have to be able to take a few punches and throw a few punches. ↗

Part of Obama's persona is self-reliance. He's calm; he's cool; he's self-possessed. In many ways, he has tried to define himself in opposition to Clinton's sometimes needy, often undisciplined, emotionalism. ↗

That someone like Obama could be elected president of the United States - with its unrivaled power and prestige - has begun to restore the country's and the world's faith in America as the land of opportunity. ↗

While eschewing emotion - and its companion, vulnerability - Obama should be careful not to sacrifice empathy, the 'I feel your pain' connection that sustained Clinton. This connection is the shorthand people use to measure their leaders' intentions. If people believe you're on their side, they will trust your decisions. ↗

The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. ↗

With regard to North Korea, between myself and President Obama earlier, with regard to the so-called launch of satellite, the missile launch, we shared the view that it undermines the efforts of the various countries concerned to achieve the resolution through dialogue. ↗

If Obama wanted to make radical changes to America's health long-term, all he has to do is treble the price of sugar and salt. ↗
