“But history is replete with potential candidates for the presidency who waited too long rather than example of people who ran too soon." - David Axelrod”

“An outgoing president nearly always defines the next elections, Axelrod wrote, and people almost never seek a replica - certainly not after the presidency of George W. Bush.”

“What distinguished Obama was his determination not to wait until he had forged a longer political record of his achievement, and the historic conjunction of events that made possible so unlikely a candidacy.”

“And I said, ‘I’m thinkin’ I’ve wasted too much time thinkin’, is what I’m thinkin'.”

“History had a way of playing cruel tricks on those who chased it.”

“If the president and the Vice President dies who becomes President" "Thats easy Arnold Swartzanager”

“You want to be a hero,” he repeated. “You want to be one of those rare human beings who make history, rather than merely watch it flow around them like water around a rock.”
