Reforming the way the state works with businesses and providing incentives for employers will help preserve and create new jobs in Massachusetts.

Mr. President, you were elected to lead. You chose to follow. And now it's time for you to get out of the way.

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

I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.

I'm not saying anything one way or the other about the two ballot issues. I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues. Those are up to the people of Ohio. But I certainly support the efforts of the governor to reign in the scale of government. I am not terribly familiar with the two ballot initiatives. But I am certainly supportive of the Republican Party's efforts here.

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'm sorry, there was an effort on the part of the president to have a status of forces agreement, and I concurred in that, and said that we should have some number of troops that stayed on. That was something I concurred with.
