In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.

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.

We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.

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

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.

Men and women of every faithб and good people with none at allб sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.
