In America, we've been around for 240 years. We've had free and fair elections. We've accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. And that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election.

The most important thing that each of us can do is to try even harder to see the world through our neighbor's eyes.

Our global future depends on the willingness of every nation to invest in its people, especially women and children.

Every single child should have the chance to live up to his or her God-given potential.

I want to get the economy going again. It's not just enough about what we're against, as important as that is. I have a plan to create new jobs, manufacturing, infrastructure, clean energy jobs that will make us the 21st century clean energy super power. I also want to make sure small businesses can start and grow again.

American leadership is essential.
