Mr. President I am here to tell you we are not buying what you are selling in 2012.

The America I know is great - not because government made it great but because ordinary citizens like me, like my father and like you are given the opportunity every day to do extraordinary things.

The Democrats have come right out and said it: the power of the central government shall have no limits at all.

Difficult things aren't easy, but they're worth it.

Hard work and education will take you farther than any government program can ever promise.
