Transcription
America's going through the longest economic recovery in our history, but some areas have not enjoyed the recovery yet. As president, I'd build on our successes to see that everyone gets a fair chance for a good job. I have great confidence in the American worker to compete. We have pride and we produce quality. So if you hear anybody running for president, running down America's ability to compete, tell them to ask me. I'll send them to America's heartland for a lesson in how America works.
