I look around the world, I don't see America's influence growing around the world. I see our influence receding, in part because of the failure of Barack Obama to deal with our economic challenges at home; in part because of our withdrawal from our commitment to our military in the way I think it ought to be; in part because of the turmoil with Israel.

I like the fact that most of the cars I see are Detroit-made automobiles. I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually.

The kids of those that came here illegally, those kids, I think, should have a pathway to become a permanent resident of the United States and military service, for instance, is one way they would have that kind of pathway to become a permanent resident.

Republicans prefer straight talk to politically correct talk!

We've got to strengthen our military long-term. We don't know what the world is going to throw at us down the road.

Our economy is on the move and we are creating thousands of new jobs, but we need to keep our foot on the gas pedal.

America is the hope of the earth.
