The ideals and the values of the United States inspired the entire world. I don't think any of us can say that our standing in the world now, the way children around the world look at the United States, is the same.

And that is something that I'm going to be committed to as president of the United States.
Abortion is a states' rights issue. Education is a states' right issue. Medicinal marijuana is a states' rights issue. Gay marraige is a states' rights issue.

Throughout the twentieth century and into the beginning of the twenty-first, the United States repeatedly used its military power, and that of its clandestine services, to overthrow governments that refused to protect American interests. Each time, it cloaked its intervention in the rhetoric of national security and liberation.

The United States presents a value system to the world that is based on democracy, based on economic freedom, based on individual rights for men and women, ..

We are a country of countries and we touch every country, and every country in world touches us.
I believe the number is 70% of the world's refugees since World War II have been taken in by the United States.
