We inherited a very bad economic situation.
I want a mandate next Tuesday from Oregon and the American people to finish that job in the next 4 years.
Since I became President, we have restored confidence and trust in the White House.
I vetoed 49 bills--42 of those bills have been sustained and the taxpayers of America have been saved $13 billion.
