“Obama sees himself as such a huge change that he can be cautious about...” — Maureen Dowd Quote

“Obama sees himself as such a huge change that he can be cautious about other societal changes. But what he doesn't realize is that legalizing gay marriage is like electing a black president. Before you do it, it seems inconceivable. Once it's done, you can't remember what all the fuss was about.”

“President Obama thinks he can use emotion to bring pressure on Congress. But that's not how adults with power respond to things.”

“Obama hates selling. He thinks people should just accept the right thing to do.”

“Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.”

“To me, Steve was my Prince Charming. He was my happily ever after, and we got that. We got 14 years of marriage; we had the best, most fantastic, adventurous, wonderful life that you could imagine. And I was very happy with that.”

“My father, a refugee from Eastern Europe, was preparing a fraudulent marriage to an American citizen as a route to this country when he was sponsored, making fraud unnecessary. My wife's grandfather bought papers from another Chinese villager to be able to come to the United States.”
