Anything may be possible in America, but a Palin presidency is virtually implausible.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
It's a bit unfair to accuse Obama of dividing the nation when the facts show that it already is.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
This is Romney's biggest political weakness. His policy flip-flops and the general sense that he's not comfortable in his own skin leads voters, including many supporters, wondering about his core values.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
A sagging economy, a soaring national debt, and an increasingly restive Congress pushed Obama to order troop reductions that are both deeper and faster than recommended by his military commanders.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
At the start of his second term, one wonders less about Obama's fitness than his willingness: Why doesn't he do more to build and maintain the relationships required to govern in era of polarization?
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Hollywood has a history of raising expectations beyond Washington's reach, of appealing to the very American desire to mythologize political leaders, particularly the president.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Obama won the presidency on the strength of his message and the skills of the messenger. Now the talk of hope and change feels out of tune when so many Americans are out of work, over-mortgaged, and worried that life will be even tougher for their children.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
I'm hearing echoes of Bill Clinton, circa 1996, in President Obama's reelection rhetoric.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
At his best, Obama promised to work with Republicans to reduce the deficit in a way that honors both individualism and community.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
The question is whether voters, particularly independents, believe that Obama truly values personal liberty and responsibility as much as the government-bought safety net.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
In times of tumult, voters are likely to forgive a president, if not reward him, for compromises made in service of solutions.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Historians will likely give Obama credit for steering the country away from the brink of economic collapse in 2009.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
One side of the American psyche wants smaller government, lower taxes, and more choices for individuals, even if those choices increase risk. The other wants a strong social safety net to protect the weakest among us, even if it costs more to minimize risk.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Perhaps we should wait until his second term begins before carving Barack Obama's face in Mount Rushmore. Is that asking too much?
Quote by -Ron Fournier
'Argo,' 'Lincoln,' and 'Zero Dark Thirty,' three films honored with Best Picture Oscar nominations, lionize their Washington-anchored protagonists as crafty, competent, and virtually incorruptible.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Movies such as 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' in 1939 to 'Dave' in 1993 portray Washington leaders as the ultimate Everymen - decent people just like you and me, only thrust onto greatness.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
One of Obama's most impressive attributes is his quiet confidence: Voters sense that he is comfortable in his own skin, a dedicated father and friend who won't waste time with the phony rituals of Washington.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
The 2016 presidential election is ripe for the emergence of a game-changing political leader who either dramatically reforms one of the existing parties or mounts an independent bid.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
If acknowledging that racial misgivings and misunderstandings are still a part of politics and life in America, I plead guilty.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Barack Obama won a second term but no mandate. Thanks in part to his own small-bore and brutish campaign, victory guarantees the president nothing more than the headache of building consensus in a gridlocked capital on behalf of a polarized public.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Obama is capable - as evidenced by his first-term success with health care reform. But mandate-building requires humility, a trait not easily associated with him.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Obama ran a hard-edged and negative campaign against Romney, hoping to convince recession-weary voters that his rival was unworthy of the job.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
If history is a guide, a victory for Obama means he faces the prospect of a second term dogged by scandal or inertia.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Every now and then, a presidential candidate surprises us with a truly human and honest moment.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most influential woman in Washington - for what she has accomplished and for what she may yet do: win the presidency.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Voters don't have to love him, Romney advisers say, but they will respect him.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Republicans would have preferred the court overturn the health care bill, an act that would have underscored Obama's biggest liability - the perception among voters, including those who like and trust him, that he has been ineffective.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Political consultants are pugilists, masters in the dark art of negativity. Which is why it's surprising to hear Democrats such as Steve McMahon and Republicans like Rich Galen urging their presidential candidates to be more, well, positive.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
President George W. Bush won reelection in 2004 largely because he was seen as comfortable in his own skin, while rival John Kerry was viewed as a flip-flopping opportunist.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Don't underestimate questions from the crowd; technology has made voters more informed than ever.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Political reporters and political professionals rushed to judgment against Romney because we crave clear, unambiguous story lines.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Shock, confusion, fear, anger, grief, and defiance. On Sept. 11, 2001, and for the three days following the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, President George W. Bush led with raw emotion that reflected the public's whipsawing stages of acceptance.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Say what you want to say about the rest of his presidency, including his tone-deaf response to Katrina and a war waged in Iraq on false pretenses, Bush connected with Americans in the aftermath of 9/11 because he looked as frail and unforgiving as we felt.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Obama still has work to do with the vision thing. Convincing voters that he has a credible, practical plan to turn the nation around is a process, not a speech.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
The problem, gentlemen, is that Obama is right: The promise of upward mobility is dying in America, and no amount of political demagoguery will fix it.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
For a man who has compared himself to Theodore Roosevelt and the nation's challenges to those of the Gilded Age, Obama put forward a tepid agenda.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Don't kid yourself. President Obama's decision to withdraw 33,000 troops from Afghanistan before he stands for reelection is not driven by the United States' 'position of strength' in the war zone as much as it is by grim economic and political realities at home.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
President Obama is casting his lot in the middle of a debate as old as America itself: Are we rugged individualists pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps? Or are we a nation of community, all connected and counting on one another?
Quote by -Ron Fournier
Most political journalists come to Washington because they're snappy writers, big thinkers, or news breakers. Me? My ticket to the big leagues had little to do with talent. It was mostly about the governor I was covering, Bill Clinton.
Quote by -Ron Fournier
AP promoted me to the White House beat because I knew Clinton, his family, friends, and staff better than anybody in the national press corps. Those contacts helped me break a few stories and get my career in Washington jump-started.
