Douglas Wilder Quotes

Sept. 11 jolted America out of its second gilded age Picture Quote #1

In the class that I teach at one University, I stress that my one-word definition of politics is money. You can’t name a subject matter that money doesn’t touch Picture Quote #1

Since Obama has expressed admiration for the portrait of Abraham Lincoln that Doris Kearns Goodwin paints in Team of Rivals, he could do the 16th president one better: He should name Hillary Clinton as his running mate in 2012. That would be both needed change and audacious Picture Quote #1

Government or politics in America today is big business.

Without their support, Obama cannot win Picture Quote #1

Healthy debate has been replaced by automatic sensors that eliminate the need for actual talking during a filibuster - a la ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’ Robust debate is necessary in a democratic society. Instead, our discourse has been relegated to media spin by expert entertainers Picture Quote #1

You don’t ever earn a right to stop doing anything if you feel there is an obligation to move in terms of public service Picture Quote #1

The first black president will be a politician who is black Picture Quote #1
