America wasn't built on Wall Street. America was built by men and women who were steel workers, who were mine workers.
What I know is as time passes, attention lapses, and people stop paying attention. And that's where presidential leadership is absolutely crucial...

The last thing I want to say -- and I want everyone here to hear my voice on this -- the one thing you can count on is you will never see a picture of me on the front of 'Fortune' magazine saying I am the candidate that big corporate…
