I do not want to be a pawn in a political campaign.

Prosperity is necessarily the first theme of a political campaign.

There are so many similarities between a startup venture and a political campaign - the rhythm, the tempo, the hours, the intensity.

I know what motivated you was not just a political campaign. It was your love of our country.

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi has become a political football in the presidential campaign, with all the grandstanding and misinformation that entails.

I must say, I don't think a political campaign is the occasion to declare exactly what we would do in that case. I think that's a matter of such critical national security importance that it ought to be left to those -- the commander in chief, the leaders of the military, the secretary of state -- to make that kind of decision without the heat of a political campaign.
