I love this quote

''I'm an American, I believe in the American Way,'' he said. ''I worry if the
government encourages open source, and I don't think we've done enough education
of policy makers to understand the threat.'' 

Just the concept that the way to achieve the most software innovation as a
society is to "educate the policy makers about the threat?  The threat of what,
losing campaign donations?

I also really like the patriotic tone of this as well.  Should he have had more
flags behind him when he said this than  everyone from campaign 2000.  "I'm an
American, I believe in the American way.  I believe in the right to overcharge
for crappy software." said with hail to the chief in the background.
