As President, I am determined to offer leadership to overcome our current economic problems. My goal is for jobs for all who want to work and economic opportunity for all who want to achieve.

Conservatism has always meant more to me than simply sticking up for private property & free enterprise. It has also meant defending our heritage & preserving our values.

The length of one's days matters less than the love of one's family and friends.

The old question still remains: Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?

All my children have spoken for themselves since they first learned to speak, and not always with my advance approval, and I expect that to continue in the future.

This is an hour of history that troubles our minds and hurts our hearts.

I think that sports, particularly football, gave me an opportunity to be out front, to be a leader, which helped me later on, when I got into politics.
