President Barack Obama has stood watch over the greatest job loss in modern American history. And that, my friends, is one inconvenient truth that will haunt this President throughout history.

This is the America that I love. This is a great people. We can do anything. We can achieve anything. We've got a government that has gotten in the way of the American people. We're going to change that in November.

When government is... bailing out banks... we have every good reason to be alarmed.

Isn't it fitting that so many of those who have contempt for the private sector will soon find themselves back in it?

Growing our economy means allowing individuals, and particularly those in the middle class, to be able to keep more of their money. It also means that people in the middle class and modest incomes to be able to pay for their retirement, to get a down payment for a home, to send a child to college.

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.

What does it say about a president's policies when he has to use a cartoon character rather than real people to justify his record?
