  6. “It was just so clear that he was exceptionally talented politician from the kind of get-go. His ability to adapt, his ability to walk into a room, to size up an issue, to understand. I’ve never seen a candidate, I’ve never seen a human being who with the most limited briefing can understand the dimensions, the parameters, the nuances of any kind of a policy or political problem. He could see six sides to the Pentagon!”

  12. “The budget [Romney] came out with in the primary… said the Bush tax cuts weren’t enough, he wanted to cut even more on the job creators after ten years when we’ve had no jobs.”

  14. “They just decided that they had rolled over and played dead long enough and that somebody needed to beat them since they got beat by an extremist rhetorical campaign. So they said, the Republicans have taught us that the harder you are and the more extreme you are, and the more demonizing you are to your opposition, the more likely you are to win elections. I mean, and if you, if you talk, if you’re reasonable and everything they eat you alive in the primary and in the general. People think you’re weak or wishy-washy or whatever, they don’t know what the heck you stand for.”

  16. “The Republican position that tends to prevail in these hot primaries was expressed by the gentleman who beat Senator Lugar, who said, I’m just against compromise. We need to stop it. It’s weak, it’s foolish, our views are irreconcilable, we have to force the American people to choose which one of us is right. If that prevails we’re toast. We’ll look like a bushly country because one party, our party, the Democrats, will look like we’re hanging on to the status quo — our budget will be — we can balance it better than they can, but it’ll be so much on the baby boom generation and on healthcare delivery systems that haven’t been modernized that we will be holding on to the past too much and there budget will be in la-la land because it will defy arithmetic.”

  18. “With regard to Bill Clinton, it was important that he was saying 15 years ago that he was supportive of gay rights, even if the Congress wouldn’t go along. And I do say that there are two areas where Bill Clinton deserves credit that he hasn’t always gotten: using his executive power, because if he couldn’t deal with the Congress successfully at that time, he revoked a 40 year-old policy that said that those of us who are gay and lesbian couldn’t get security clearances. That was a serious problem for the people that—not just working for the government—but working for businesses that work for the government, and he abolished that. Secondly, and in terms of the international, he took the first step—Janet Reno, at his direction, promulgated a rule that said if you were gay, lesbian, transgender overseas and you were being persecuted, that would were eligible for asylum. So those were two very powerful things that were not just personal expressions.”
