“Two different value sets”
By on
“The choice is stark. Two different visions. Two different value sets. But at its core, the difference is able to be reduced to a fundamental difference. You see?

“Courage in his soul”
By on
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you what I think you already know, but I watch it up close—bravery resides in the heart of Barack Obama. And time and time again, I witnessed him summon it. This man has courage in his soul, compassion in his heart, and a spine of steel. And because of all the actions he took, because of the calls he made, because of the determination of American workers—and the unparalled bravery of our special forces—we can now proudly say what you've heard me say the last six months: Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive!”

And he always asks in every one of those critical meetings the same fundamental question: How is this going to affect the average American? How is this going to affect people's lives? That's what's inside this man. That's what makes him tick. That's who he is. And folks, because of the decisions he has made, and the incredible strength of the American people, America has turned the corner.”
