My friends, we fell a little short tonight, but we have no cause to be discouraged or to second guess what we might have done differently. We did what we always do, we went to Michigan and we told people the truth. We always tell them the…

As president of the United States, I will herald a new day for Michigan.

We eliminate this wasteful, disgraceful, earmark pork-barrel spending in Washington, and there will be plenty of money to go around for the right things, and not the wrong things.

This bill that the president just signed that had nearly 10,000 earmark pork-barrel projects on it, and take that money and give it to these education and training programs.
