People have decided that career politicians may be part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system.

I'm not a professional politician, I'm a problem solver.

What I think we need to do to engage the American people in a conversation about entitlement reform is to have a bipartisan group of people who come together and put every solution on the table, every alternative on the table. And then we ought to engage in a long conversation with the American people so they understand the choices.

Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business, I would have said, 'No way.'

I think when you've been a career politician for 34 years you have to run on your record.
