The ideals and the values of the United States inspired the entire world. I don't think any of us can say that our standing in the world now, the way children around the world look at the United States, is the same. And part of what we need to do is to send a message to the world that we are going to invest in issues like education, we are going to invest in issues that relate to how ordinary people are able to live out their dreams. And that is something that I'm going to be committed to as president of the United States.

Unemployment is low, incomes are up, poverty is down - and that's going to be a lasting change.

Germany, South Korea - these are all countries that are investing massively in education. We've got to do the same thing in America.

We know that education is everything to our children's future. We know that they will no longer just compete for good jobs with children from Indiana, but children from India and China and all over the world.

I think I was able to talk to people about values in ways that people - in ways that resonated with folks.

And Joe Biden, thank you for being the best Vice President I could ever hope for.

With respect to the pledge I made that if you like your plan you can keep it. The way I put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate.
