It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam.

The president may be a nice guy, but he's just over his head.

I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time.

I don't just talk about change. I actually have a plan to execute change and make it happen.

I'm thinking about the people who I want to see running for President. And there's quite a group. I mean we have a very strong field of leaders who could become our nominee and - and could stand up for the kind of leadership I think America wants.

The American people I talk to don't spend every moment thinking, 'How can I tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' They say, 'How can I get a good job? How can my kids get good jobs? How can seniors have a confidence in their future when they know that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt?'

When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, 'Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?'
