I was in the Navy as an enlisted man, started my first business when I was 21.

I've built companies, I've created jobs, I know the frustration of small businesses with higher taxes.

From my standpoint, I want to work with homeland security, justice to make sure that U.S. citizens' vote is not diluted.

We've allowed our military to decay, and we project weakness on the international stage.

There’s no question that mistakes were made and as CEO, I have to accept responsibility for those mistakes. I was focused on lowering costs and making the hospitals more efficient. I could have had more internal and external controls. I learned hard lessons and I’ve taken that lesson and it’s helped me become a better business person and a better leader.

I know that you've got to watch how you spend all the dollars. That's not the easiest thing to do. That's not what people think is the most fun thing to do, but it's the right thing to do.

It is not easy to be sure that being yourself is worth the trouble, but [we do know] it is our sacred duty.
