This, in my view, is the highest responsibility of the President of the United States, which is to maintain the safety of the American people.

I'm a big believer in getting money from where the money is, and the money is in Washington. I learned from running the Olympics that you can get money there to help build economic opportunities. We actually got over $410 million from the federal government; that is a huge increase over anything ever done before. We did that by going after every agency of government. That kind of creativity I want to bring to everything we do (in Massachusetts).

What's up, gangstas? It's the M-I-Double-Tizzle.

I think people want to see change, want to see something new and Hillary Clinton is just not that person.

Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.

My passion probably flows from the fact that I believe in God, and I believe we’re all children of the same God. I believe we have a responsibility to care for one another.

This nation is the hope of the Earth.
