“You're right, man. May I salute the Monarchs, the Wildcats, and the Panthers. You know, somebody told me that some of you around here always wear a button, normally wear a button that says, ``Reelect Barbara Bush's husband.'' Well, I like that because, you see, I think we have the best First Lady in the entire world. You know, some of you yelling ``Clean House!'', I couldn't help but notice the sign down the street on McCullough's Hardware. It says, ``All I want for Christmas is a new Congress.'' Not a bad idea. Let's get this country moving forward. May I salute the veterans that are here from Richmond and Marysville and elsewhere, men and women that served their country with great distinction. I salute the veterans. I salute those who put on a uniform and served their country. You know, we take this train through Marysville this morning to discuss what kind of an America we want.

I have laid out my Agenda for American Renewal, a comprehensive, integrated series of steps to create here in America, by early in the next century, the world's very first $10 trillion economy.

He talked with the chairman of Honda, and the chairman told him flat out that the workers here in Marysville were not as good as Japanese workers; he told them they were better than Japanese workers. On free trade, and I'm talking about jobs with Honda here in Marysville, on free trade, my opponent hasn't even made up his mind yet. But he does want to slap a tough tax on foreign plants in the United States, including the Honda plant right here in Marysville. Audience members. Boo-o-o!”
