Pakistan is a nation, which, if it falls apart, if it becomes a failed state, there are nuclear weapons there and you've got terrorists there who could grab their hands onto those nuclear weapons.

We in America can compete successfully with anyone in the world, and we're going to.

What outsourcing causes - what it's caused by, rather. I understand, for instance, how to read a balance sheet.

If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him.
