“We need a doctor. They'll get it. We got it. The doctor is already there. You know, I have never seen a deer in a bulletproof vest. [Laughter] And if they can show me one, I'll reassess my position on this issue. But until I find a deer or a duck or a wild turkey wearing a Kevlar vest, I'm going to stick with these folks and be for banning those cop- killer bullets. One last thing, I think one of the biggest dilemmas our people face today--I look out here and see all of you--need a doctor over there? Connie, can we send--we need someone back in the back over here. We'll be right there. Just hold up the signs where you are. Somebody hold up the sign; we'll send somebody right back there. One of the biggest problems people face is trying to balance the demands of childrearing and work. I bet there is not a family here that can't remember a personal instance where you were torn between the demands of your job and the demands of your children. I'll bet you can't think--there is not anybody here that hasn't been through that. That's why I'm so proud that we passed the family and medical leave law. Twelve million Americans got to take some time off from work without losing their job. One other thing, you know it hasn't hurt the economy. We've got 10\1/4\ million new jobs and a record number of new small businesses. But 12 million families got to be there when the baby was born or the parent was sick, without losing their job. And I'd like to see that law expanded so that people could have just a little time to make those regular doctor's appointments and regular teacher's appointments with their kids or their parents. I'd like to see the provisions of my balanced budget bill passed so that people on Medicare--that ladies can get regular mammograms who are Medicare-eligible. I'd like to see people who have someone in their families with Alzheimer's they're trying to take care of be able to access some respite care. These things will save us money. They will make us a more humane country. They will strengthen America's families. So I ask you, if you agree we're better off than we were 4 years ago, if you agree we've got to keep working until we create opportunity for all Americans, make all communities responsible, and go forward together, I want to ask you if you will, at least in your mind and heart, will you get on this train with me for 70 days and keep us on the right track? Will you stay with me to take America into the 21st century? Do you believe we can do it? Audience members. Yes!”
