Leadership - leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.

I like American cars. And I would do nothing to hurt the U.S. auto industry.

I would explain to my children very simply that the defense of liberty is a cause that exacts a very high price in the history of humankind.

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.

I like those fancy raincoats you bought. Really sprung for the big bucks.

Barack Obama has done something I find very hard to understand. Ever since FDR, we`ve had the capacity to be engaged in two conflicts at once, and he`s saying, No, we`re going to cut that back to only one conflict.

I spent my whole life in the private sector, 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people, it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things, the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow, we don't put Americans to work.
