Andrew Dominik Quotes

I think we were all initially swept along with the Obama win, but he's proven to be simply a set of teeth, and useless in every other regard.

The people who voted for President Obama are just beginning to wake up to exactly what they brought in. The 'change' they envisioned is not the 'change' they have gotten.

In my opinion, Obama can become one of the biggest frustrations in the history for many people, not for me, but for the people of the United States that voted for him and saw him as a symbol of hope for change.

The idea of politics is just so uninteresting to me - I've never paid much attention to it. I don't believe things can really change. It doesn't matter who's president. Nothing really gets resolved. I don't know. I guess that's not the right attitude to take.

I should hate to think that the Senate was as tired of me at the beginning of my service as I am of the Senate at the end.

Many of the people who voted for Trump were people who voted for Obama eight years ago. You remember, of course, his message was "hope and change."

When they're disillusioned with that, it depends on what activists and others do.

A political convention is not a place where you can come away with any trace of faith in human nature.
