Future
Much speculation has been made about where Tom Suozzi will go after Nassau County. After already running for Governor against Spitzer in the Democratic Primaries, and throwing his hat into the ring to replace Hillary Clinton as Senator, Tom Suozzi's name has been attached to a presidential run. During the Gubernatorial debate with Eliot Spitzer, Suozzi mentioned that he does in fact have presidential aspirations. In a 2009 Newsday article, Suozzi refused to deny that he wouldn't leave his County Executive position in Nassau County to run for higher office, by saying "I'm not ruling anything out at this time". When asked if he would commit to all four years of his term if any higher office opened up, he told Newsday: "I commit that I will continue to do whatever I can to address the property tax problems that the people of Nassau County face.". There has also been speculation that he would be running for Lieutenant Governor of New York with political ally Governor David Paterson.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
“The future of America may or may not bring forth a black President, a woman President, a Jewish President, but it most certainly always will have a suburban President. A President whose senses have been defined by the suburbs, where lakes and public baths mutate into back yards and freeways, where walking means driving, where talking means telephoning, where watching means TV, and where living means real, imitation life.”
—Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)
