I aim to be a competitive nation.

I'm comfortable with how I lived my life as the president.

It's really important for our troops to understand our country supports them.

My job is to think beyond the immediate.

Well, that's going to be up to the pundits and the people to make up their mind. I'll tell you what is a president for him, for example, talking about my record in the state of Texas. I mean, he's willing to say anything in order to convince people that I haven't had a good record in Texas.

I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.

Can't living with the bill means it won't become law.
