I'll be honest with you, I don't agree with President Obama about everything. But I've gotten to know him, I've worked with him, and the choice is crystal clear.

When I look at President Obama, I see a leader with a cool head, a caring heart and an open mind, a president who has demonstrated through his demeanor and through his deeds that he is uniquely qualified to heal our divisions, rebuild our nation and lead us to a brighter future together.

When I was a Republican governor, he was obviously a Democratic president, but on issue after issue after issue, President Obama was very helpful to us in education, in the environment, with the handling of the BP oil spill.

I'm a conservative, and I'm a compassionate conservative. And I think it's important that Florida continues to move in that direction.

I was a Republican and I saw the activists and what they were doing, it was intolerable to me.

I've decided to do it, for the pure and simple reason that I just think it's the right thing to do.

You know, as attorney general, there's no issue more important than making sure you are safe, that your families are safe.
