I'm a true native of the Bay Area.

I don't think you need to run down someone's reputation in order to run for the office of president.

But economic recovery must be earned. And it will be earned by entrepreneurs and it will be earned by small businesses.

At the end of the day, capital is a coward. It's going to flee from wherever it perceives risk to be present in the marketplace.

I'm a very spiritual person and proud of my Mormon roots.

We're fighting an enemy that is far different than any we have got before. It's a nontraditional kind of war, and I think we need to step back, recalibrate how we go about protecting our borders and protecting our people, and resetting our position in the world.

The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. Were the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well, others think that were down and are not going to get back up again, but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years.
