Even if you're not a Catholic, even if you're not a Christian, in fact even if you have no religious faith at all, what people could see in Pope John Paul was a man of true and profound spiritual faith.
The Catholic Church [with Pope John Paul II] has lost its shepherd. The world has lost a champion of human freedom.
John Paul II spoke to the commoner and to the king, to the tyrant and to the democrat in that same language of freedom.
The holy father John Paul II made a profound impact wherever he went. And, of course, his trip to Boston was one of the earliest ones. But I must say every time that I met the holy father and mentioned Boston, he would immediately say, rain. So, it made quite an impact on him, too.
Pope John Paul II is the great. Only two other popes had that title. Does that suggest there is going to be a move for canonization?
I have never heard a president in bad times running against ,let`s face it, that`s what he`s doing here running against bad times, when he`s the presiding officer.

I am no longer going to go along with this idea that we're going to keep spending and borrowing and taking over and raising taxes, that I'm going to do everything I can to change things.
Every party and every movement tends to need a hero.
I look back to the Great Depression, and what Roosevelt was able to do in very difficult times, to get Social Security through back in the time when it was seen as - well, it wasn't what it is today. It was sort of a last-ditch, if you really need it, you got it, but, today, it's much more a part of your retirement program.
