The day I'm inaugurated, this country looks at itself differently and the world looks at America differently. If you believe that we've got to heal America and we've got to repair our standing in the world, then I think my supporters believe that I am a messenger who can deliver that message around the world in a way that no other candidate can do.

What is certainly true is that the United States has to have a presence to promote the values that we care about.

If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.

Part of the power of the Internet is that information flows out there and it's generally not censored and it's generally not controlled by any single authority.

I hoped for something else. It's a simple dream, but it speaks to us so powerfully because it is our dream - one that exists at the very center of the American experience. One that says if you're willing to work hard and take responsibility, then you'll have the chance to reach for something else; for something better.

Whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners to it.

I could say, as a member of Congress, we usually get an alert if something is going to happen at the Capitol.
