I want to thank you for being a strong capitalist, first of all, and for your service to this country.

It is hard to believe.

I want to thank all of you for keeping the American Dream alive for the small-business owners and entrepreneurs all across this great country.

I cosponsored a bill with Representative Charlie Crist of Florida to set up a revolving loan fund...

So I merely take advantage of you being here today to just ask you to be generous or be careful when you start raising the interest rates because it can affect the economy.
