It's essential for a president to show strength from the very beginning, to make it very clear what is acceptable and not acceptable.

I absolutely believe that America has a responsibility, and the privilege of helping defend freedom and promote the principles that make the world more peaceful. And those principles include human rights, human dignity, free enterprise, freedom of expression, elections.

Hugo Chavez has tried to steal an inspiring phrase - 'Patria o muerte, venceremos.' It does not belong to him. It belongs to a free Cuba.

Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom.

I think the best answer is as little as possible.

I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.

I care about a hundred percent of the American people. I want a hundred percent of the American people to have a bright and prosperous future.
