We reserve our deepest respect and admiration for those who volunteer for service and give their lives to help keep our nation secure.

Iran's nuclearization is the greatest single national security threat America faces.

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.

I'm a big believer in getting money from where the money is, and the money is in Washington. I learned from running the Olympics that you can get money there to help build economic opportunities.

That kind of creativity I want to bring to everything we do (in Massachusetts).
