We have a country that is $5 a gallon gas, $4 a gallon gas, we got unbearable unemployment and a federal government that is out of control. We have to take back this country and we've got to get off the sidelines and take it to President Obama.
We understand that athletes aren't necessarily role models, but we at least expect them to abide by the basic laws of the state.

It was a genuine slip of the tongue, ... I realized as I was starting to say puck that other sounds were coming out of my mouth, and I changed it to puck. And if you don't bleep out the middle part and play the whole thing, I think that's clear... It was an unfortunate slip of the tongue, and I am sorry for that. I tried my best to say it as they wanted me to say it, and it just came out.
I wouldn't say we are getting any pressure, ... They are disappointed and concerned, but they haven't made any threats.
Setting aside the stadium issues, if these allegations are true, they're awful, ... To have football players or anyone else act in that manner is awful.
There is a group of individuals who are radical jihadists. We need to call them by name. They believe it is OK to kill people in the name of their religion. It is not all of Islam.
