I made a decision when I ran for president that I wouldn't whine about my coverage in the media, and I never did.

I want to state unequivocally for the world, as well as for the markets, as well as for the American people: I have no doubt that we will not lose the full faith and credit of the United States.

When it comes to personnel issues, I act professionally and respectful of former employees. I just assume that's a two-way street. It's disappointing when it's not.

I'm not involved in light, frivolous matters. I'm not involved in fringe or side issues. I'm involved in serious issues.

John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy, but he was actively involved.
