- That's all folks!!
- If so please come out and vote for me on Tuesday!!!!
- Are you ready for Change? Are you ready for new green collar jobs? Fair tax for middle class families? Ready for healthcare that works for everyone?
- I'm going to be in on a digital townhall in a few nights. Please go to my website and start posting your questions.
- We need to reestablish the trust between our government and people.
- Part of the reason that I'm so specific in my speeches is that I want you to hold me accountable.
- We need to tell the Iraqi's that they will no longer have a blank check, but need to take responsibility for themselves
- We need to take care of the translators and all of those that stood and help our military as well.
- We need to address all of the 100,000 civilians that are also there.
- As soon as I'm President I will ask my National Security advisors to draw up a plan to immediately withdraw troops in the first sixty days, but in a responsible manner.
- I want to restore our moral authority in the world.
- But we can come up with a path that would have them help our economy, and no longer be exploited by businesses.
- If they broke the law they should be fined.
- This doesn't mean people who broke the law should be immune from it.
- I thought so, it would last a nanosecond.
- Everyone booed
- Looking to deport someone?
- It would cost $200 billion just to come up with enough people and to figure out a process. And how would you feel if an officer came to your house.
- As a candidate for President I'd have to ask the question - Now how would we actually do that?
- There are these demagogues running around TV saying we should deport all the illegals.
- I want to do more with our countries in the South to help them with their economies so their children don't need to leave their families to support them.

- Anyone in the crowd?
- I've been taking a perverse poll to see how high students are paying in interest rates. I've heard student's paying 13%!
- We need to stop these predatory student lending companies
- I proposed a new National Service that a student can work for two years to help fund their education.
- One of the ways we'll do that is make college more affordable to perspective teachers can get the education they need.
- Let's begin to respect our teachers and give them the support we need.
- I go to schools now, and besides a computer or two it looks remarkably similar to how it did when I went to school.
