I guess that was Eric's Wright way of saying, don't feel sorry for me, everything will be alright. — Kokane
America is an enormous country with enormous resources. The basic American spirit creates the Wright Brothers and Henry Ford and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.

Donald Trump is a very good executive. — Newt Gingrich
America, in the eyes of the world, typifies above all else this quality of initiative. The greatest successes are nearly all the fruit of initiative.
