believe leader i-believe
I believe in Governor Romney. I believe in him as a leader.
thinking leader president
Hillary Clinton called President Assad a "reformer". She called Assad a "different kind of leader". There's now 400,000 now dead...think about that.
leadership work reality
I would rather die than be in the United States Senate. I would be bored to death. Could you imagine me, banging around that chamber with 99 other people, asking for a motion on the amendment in the subcommittee? Forget it...You'd watch me just walk out and walk right into the Potomac River and drown. That would be it.
leadership health eye
The President's biggest problem right now is he's gotta tell the truth. And we've seen this in New Jersey. I've told lots of hard truths in New Jersey that people didn't necessarily agree with, but they give you credit for looking them in the eye and telling them the truth.
leader important today
But our leaders of today have decided it's more important to be popular, to say and do what's easy, and say yes rather than to say no, when no is what is required.
real leader president
You see, Mr. President - real leaders don't follow polls. Real leaders change polls.
exactly lead loved start stop worrying
We have got to stop worrying about being loved and start worrying about being respected. And that's exactly how I'll lead our country.
america among freedom leadership nations role sacrifice secure shared stable symbol
Now, do I think there has to be shared sacrifice among other nations in the world who want a stable and secure world? Absolutely, there has to be. But I don't think that America can ever abdicate its leadership role in the world because of who we are and where we've come from. We are the symbol for the world for freedom and liberty.
benefits care coverage dental entire family full health million paid pay pension retired teacher towards vision yes
A retired teacher paid $62,000 towards her pension and nothing, yes nothing, for full family medical, dental and vision coverage over her entire career. What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215,000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime.
wall spirit determined
I know the human spirit. I haven't found a wall that can be built that a determined human being can't get over, under or around.
strong believe israel
I don't disagree with Senator Paul's position that we shouldn't be funding our enemies. But I absolutely believe that Israel is a priority to be able to fund and keep them strong and safe after eight years of this administration.
strong thinking people
I think what the American people want more than anything else is a strong and decisive leader.
personality littles grows
As we all grow and we get older, there are always little changes about our personality that happen.
running country religious
When people run a business and open their door to the public, they must serve the public. That doesn't mean they can't say whatever they want to say. It doesn't mean they can't believe whatever they want to believe. Those are protected also. But businesses must serve the public. And that's a principle that we fought for in this country over many, many decades, when some were invoking religious freedom as an excuse to deny people on the basis of their race, on the basis of their religion, on the basis of sex and on the basis now of sexual orientation. Let's not confuse one thing with the other.
