People Are Taking A Closer Look At Donald Trump. I Think The Best Look They Got Was At The Last Debate. I Think Ted Cruz And Marco Rubio Prosecuted Their Case Effectively.

An Office Supply Company Called Staples – Where I’m Pleased To See The Obama Campaign Has Been Shopping; The Sports Authority, Which Became A Favorite Of My Sons. We Started An Early Childhood Learning Center Called Bright Horizons That First Lady Michelle Obama Rightly Praised. At A Time When Nobody Thought We’d Ever See A New Steel Mill Built In America, We Took A Chance And Built One In A Corn Field In Indiana.

Republicans Should Never Abandon Pro-growth Conservative Principles In An Effort To Embrace The Ideas Of Al Gore.

Choosing Education Is A Very Good Decision, Not Only Good For The Student, But Also For Our Country. The United States Was The First Nation In History To Recognize That Public Education For Every Citizen, Regardless Of Class Or Station, Was Vital To Its Future . . .
