The first job of the president of the United States is to protect your safety and your security and the security and safety of your family.

You have to do more than just talk about work. You have to really reward the people who are out there doing it.

Since the president's [Barack Obama] lost all of that [majority in Senate], he now has decided he's just going to write laws on his own. He's going to give us edicts, as if he's a king. And that is a petulant child. He's refusing to listen to the will of the American people, which is they reject his policies.

The people elected us to end the talk and to act decisively.

When I get to the White House, there will be no hesitation from me to make the tough decisions that need to be made because I've been doing it for the last 13 years as a former federal prosecutor and now as the governor of New Jersey.

Remember, at the end of the day [election] campaigns are always about the candidates.

Well, let me tell you, after three years of Obama, we are hopeless and changeless, and we need Mitt Romney to bring us back, to bring America back.
