"There isn't a single indicator that isn't improving."

"I hope that the Congress will show some wisdom and do some affirmative action in trying to increase our domestic production."

"I think we have a policy that we are working on, both at home and abroad, to convince a majority of the American people that they ought to vote for our policies and our candidate."

"We can be very optimistic that we have overcome the worst ravages of the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930's."
