Our plans protect freedom and opportunity, and our blueprint is the Constitution of the United States.

This is all about creating good jobs for middle-income Americans, and it's a place where the President, frankly, has failed. His effort to put in place a series of liberal proposals he thought were historic kept his eye off the ball of getting the economy going again. It is the economy, and the American people aren't stupid. They want someone who can get this economy going again.

I went to a number of women's groups and said, "Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women.

As president, I will create 12 million new jobs.

We have made progress from where we were when President Obama took office, when the economy - our economy had just contracted almost by nine percent.

Iraq is fragile and may fall back into a devastating setting. We're not making the kind of progress in Afghanistan that had been promised. And our esteem around the world has fallen. I can't think of a major country. It's hard to think of a single country that has greater respect and admiration for America today than it did five years ago when Barack Obama became President. And that's a very sad, unfortunate state of affairs.

President Obama trusts in the wisdom of government. I put my trust in the ingenuity and creativity and commitment to hard work of the American people.
