What is the essence of America? Finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom 'to' and freedom 'from.'
I'd like to see Apple and Dell factories be brought to the inner cities; in every project in America, there's some factory there, and it's abandoned, and I'd like to see those factories open and bring jobs to America.
The problem, gentlemen, is that Obama is right: The promise of upward mobility is dying in America, and no amount of political demagoguery will fix it.
America's support for human rights and democracy is our noblest export to the world.
Democratic leaders always seem to blame America first.
I'm much more concerned about America than the Democratic Party.
Selma helped make it possible for hundreds and thousands of people in the South to become registered voters and encouraged people all across America to become participants in a democratic process.

Because when rural America succeeds, we all do.
Let's be honest, dental care in America is extremely expensive, period.

I think arriving at or departing from any airport in America is just horrendous these days.
The department store was a product of the 19th century and became a very important institution as America went into the 20th century. It provided show places in developing towns like Terre Haute, Sacramento, and Dallas.
Saks is one of the temples of good-quality products in America. The Saks shop in New York, for me, is the most interesting department store in America.
