I'm usually convinced that what I'm working on is a total disaster.
I really like Barack Obama. I think that he's working very hard. He's trying to rebuild our reputation throughout the world. The previous administration was a total disaster, a total catastrophe. He was handed a pretty bad deck of cards. And I'm not saying I agree with everything he's doing. He's a champion. I mean, he won against all odds. When he first announced, people were giving him virtually no chance. And he's just done something that's amazing.
American decline is real, though the apocalyptic vision reflects the familiar ruling class perception that anything short of total control amounts to total disaster.
I'm certainly when it comes to health care - I mean, we want to repeal and replace "Obama care." We're going to repeal - "Obama care" is a total disaster for this country, a total and complete disaster. We're going to come up with plans, and there are lots of alternatives. We're going to come up with plans that are far less expensive, better for the people and better for the country.

Working with Christopher, he convinced me he could fly, and he's convinced me he's going to walk again.
Me trying to make a business around Linux would have been a total disaster.
If you look at the Middle East, it's a blow up, it's a total disaster. We have an incompetent president [Barack Obama].
It is when my umbrella turns inside out that I am convinced of the total depravity of inanimate things.
I am convinced that floods of personal disaster can never drown a determined revolutionary nor can the cumulus of misery that accompanies tragedy suffocate him.
