Affairs of state tend to drive most presidents toward the center on both foreign and domestic policy, no matter where on the political spectrum they begin, and especially so in the areas of intelligence and law enforcement.

My politics are very centrist and sometimes, especially when it comes to foreign affairs, lean to the right.

I like a dramatic eye and a bold lip.

It sometimes feels like I'm not doing anything.
