"John, this is brilliant! We suspend the campaign so you swoop in like Superman to...wait for it, wait for it...save the economy! This way Obama doesn't look like he cares!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
