I don't want that burden to be placed on kids right now.

I might not be standing here if it weren't for the incredible efforts that all of you put in here in this State and around the country.

Kids learn more from the age of zero to 3 than they do probably for the rest of their lives.

We want to get them off to a good start, knowing their colors and their numbers and their letters and just knowing how to sit still.

We do not play for second place. We play for first place.

Anybody who wants a job got to be able to go out there and get one, and we're not going to be done until we get that result.

Social Security should not be privatized, and it will not be privatized as long as I'm President.

There is established within the Department of State, a temporary organization to be known as the Pakistan and Afghanistan Support Office (PASO).

Do not bet against the American worker.

We do not give up. We do not quit. We do not fear the future.

Ted Strickland has done an outstanding job for Ohio, and he needs another term to finish what he has started here.

Sometimes when you're in Washington, you get caught up with the particular legislative battles or media spin on certain issues.

The economy is getting stronger, but it really suffered a big trauma.

We need to start feeling better about the economy.

Don't bet against the American worker.

The United States of America does not play for second place.
