We're going to need an extraordinary leadership over the next four years.

I don't think he closed the sale. But I think he made a lot of progress.

I must say, this is one area where the candidates on both sides, John McCain and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are all in favor of doing something about climate change.

What the new president wants to do is see if you can stabilize the place and make sure it's not a center of terrorism to threaten us.

You can only persuade the Americans. This is what John McCain is saying, we will only sign an agreement in the United States if China and India also sign an agreement.

A John McCain presidency would look very different in Iraq. It would look very much like George W. Bush in his policies; it will be a continuation of those policies.

We need someone who is ... going to need a consensus builder.

What you as a new president have to make sure is, that if this thing gets a lot worse, all the blame doesn't come to you, so you lose on your political stand.

When the new president comes in, it's very important to be very clear about what your goals are.

The new president may well be put in the position of having to come up with a short-term economic plan for the next year or two.

I think it does. The Bush administration's view, and I think one that's supported widely by Republicans is, first they give up their nuclear ambitions and then we will talk.

The president has already pledged 3,000 and they think we should go far beyond that.
