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.

Today, the biggest challenge we must meet is the one we present to ourselves. To not become a nation that places entitlement ahead of accomplishment. To not become a country that places comfortable lies ahead of difficult truths. To not become a people that thinks so little of ourselves that we demand no sacrifice from each other.

Only in America, where someone like me could have the opportunity to seek the highest office the world has to offer.
