It's opportunity. It's opportunity, not a check from government - it's opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.

The president may be a nice guy, but he's just over his head.

And wages - we'll see the end of this decline we're having. The median income in America is down 10% in just the last four years. That's got to stop. We've got to start seeing rising wages and job growth.

There's no question raising the minimum wage excessively causes a loss of jobs.

President Obama has thrown allies like Israel under the bus, even as he has relaxed sanctions on Castro's Cuba. He abandoned our friends in Poland by walking away from our missile defense commitments, but is eager to give Russia's President Putin the flexibility he desires, after the election. Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone.

Frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president.

At the end of the day after a few speeches and a lot of campaign stops, I'm more energized than drained.
