In 1928 he created “Mickey Mouse.”

“I think it’s important not to live in the bubble.”“You’ve got to be open to outside information, particularly criticism.”~President Obama said during an interview on CNBC.

“I very rarely read good press. I often read bad press, not because I agree with it, but because I want to get a sense of whether there are areas where I'm falling short and where I can do better.”

~When Host John Harwood pointed out that he has not received negative press, Obama said,“Well, I’m sure it’s coming.”“One thing I’m pretty clear about is that as president I’ve got to be looking out at the horizon.” “I can’t be looking at today’s headlines, because if I do then I’m probably not going to make decisions based on what's best for the country.”
