"I think President Barack Obama has been a good president." — John Lewis

The press is supposed to serve as a check on government.

We should be creative, and we should accommodate the needs of every community to open up the democratic process. We should make it easy and accessible for every citizen to participate.

Customs, traditions, laws should be flexible, within good reason, if that is what it takes to make our democracy work.

You have to go with your gut sometimes, and how you feel.
