Jon Huntsman
country differences president
I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president, not who is the better American.
country party government
I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.
war fighting thinking
We're fighting an enemy that is far different than any we have got before. It's a nontraditional kind of war, and I think we need to step back, recalibrate how we go about protecting our borders and protecting our people, and resetting our position in the world.
country competition age
In a day and age of global competition and instantaneous financial flows, you have to be highly sensitive to the way in which tax policy impacts your overall competitiveness as a country.
bay-area native areas
I'm a true native of the Bay Area.
sports jobs team
This is a time when the United States should be standing tall. There is no other leader in the world today. We shouldn't be approaching conflicts as a team sport. We either get in an we lead and we do a good job, or you don't get in at all.
thinking years play
It's a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it's now or years from now, we'll have an incendiary situation. Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don't think that serves our strategic interests.
risk coward perceive
At the end of the day, capital is a coward. It's going to flee from wherever it perceives risk to be present in the marketplace...
iowa reason competing
I'm not competing in Iowa for a reason.
spiritual roots proud
I’m a very spiritual person and proud of my Mormon roots,
crazy believe occupy-movement
To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy.
moving-forward thinking sensitive
I think we have to be very sensitive to our need to compete, moving forward, and a lot of that is tied to tax policy.
adversity opportunity thinking
A crisis allows us the opportunity to dig deep into the reservoirs of our very being, to rise to levels of confidence, strength, and resolve that otherwise we didn't think we possessed. Through adversity, we come face to face with who we really are and what really counts.
revenge kindness moving
In any walk of life, a positive, upbeat outlook trumps any adversarial act. Revenge is counterproductive. Unproductive emotions limit one's ability to move forward, to focus, to think positively, to act creatively.
