political judgment operations
If I cannot trust someone's judgment, I cannot ask others to do so, and I would not place him at the head of my political operation.
party thinking embarrassed
I think Gingrich has embarrassed the party over time. Whether he'll do it again in the future, I don't know. But Gov. Romney never has.
who-i-am bully i-am-who-i-am
I am who I am, but I am not a bully,
complaining clinton
The fact is that, once you are the person - and Ms.[Hillary] Clinton is the person who injected this type of commentary [bigot] into this race [2016] - once you inject that type of commentary into this race, you can't then sit back and start complaining about it or have some of your handmaidens in the media complain about it.
fall years race
If we make the tough decisions now, we will be one year ahead of 80 percent of the states in the race to economic growth. If we fail to act, we will fall even further behind... by going first, we can become first.
cutting today-is-the-day years
Today is the day for the complaining to end and for statesmanship to begin. Today I am taking action to cut state spending and balance the budget this year.
years law america
I spent seven years of my life in the immediate aftermath of September 11th doing this work, working with the Patriot Act, working with our law enforcement, working with the surveillance community to make sure that we keep America safe.
clinton ashamed
The fact is that [Hillary Clinton] has been the person who started this type of conversation in the campaign. She should be ashamed of herself.
country jobs america
The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state's greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest. That's what we did in New Jersey and that's the model for America.
jobs war heart
The rule for effective governance is simple. It is one Ronald Reagan knew by heart. And one that he successfully employed with Social Security and the Cold War. When there is a problem, you fix it. That is the job you have been sent to do and you cannot wait for someone else to do it for you.
teacher believe unions
They believe in teachers unions. We believe in teachers.
country sacrifice greatness
Everybody in America has to be part of a shared sacrifice to create opportunity for greatness again for our people and our country.
real leader president
You see, Mr. President - real leaders don't follow polls. Real leaders change polls.
pain taken hands
Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.
