It would be great if politics were fact-based, but it is not, and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution, not the country. – Jon Meacham
There is no sea more dangerous than the ocean of practical politics none in which there is more need of good pilotage and of a single, unfaltering purpose when the waves rise high. – Thomas Huxley
Im learning as I go. I dont know everything. I never had anybody to look at, nobody ever taught me, and where Im from I didnt have any famous role models. – Wale
