God is on my side, and that’s all I need. I get up in the morning, I pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.

I intensely covered Bush when he was Governor of Texas.
When I came into the Perry family, it was one of those deals where it was the only family I had. I didn’t have a father figure growing up like that, somebody who genuinely cared about me. Governor Perry taught me how to be a good man.

Governor Granholm had all the right values but didn’t have the right background.
