There are definitly some really inter­est­ing insights into both pres­i­den­tial cam­paigns coming out of the wood­work today. An arti­cle from Newsweek, Hack­ers and Spend­ing Sprees, lists serveral inter­est­ing tidbits.

My favorite of the group is this quote from Obama while he was prepar­ing for one of the pri­mary debates (empha­sis added):

I don’t con­sider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cau­tious. I often find myself trapped by the ques­tions and think­ing to myself, ‘You know, this is a stupid ques­tion, but let me … answer it.’ So when Brian Williams is asking me about what’s a per­sonal thing that you’ve done [that's green], and I say, you know, ‘Well, I planted a bunch of trees.’ And he says, ‘I’m talk­ing about personal.’ What I’m think­ing in my head is, ‘Well, the truth is, Brian, we can’t solve global warm­ing because I f—ing changed light bulbs in my house. It’s because of some­thing col­lec­tive‘.

I’m glad this type of stuff is leak­ing out.
