I think President Obama has done more than he is given credit for. ↗

I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president. ↗

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths. ↗

Ever since Israel has been a nation the United States has provided the leadership. Every president down to the ages has done this in a fairly balanced way, including George Bush senior, Gerald Ford, and others including myself and Bill Clinton. ↗

I believed what my father taught me about the separation of church and state, so when I was President I never invited Billy Graham to have services in the White House because I didn't think that was appropriate. He was injured a little bit, until I explained it to him. ↗

I don't want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He's a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach. ↗

I remember the last three days that I was president, I never went to bed at all. I never went to bed until we had negotiated the final release of the hostages. ↗

I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African American. ↗

There's no doubt that usually a president's public image is enhanced by going to war. That never did appeal to me. ↗

I think Ralph Nader is the biggest liar in American politics when he said it didn't matter who was president. ↗
