What we won when all of our people united must not be lost in suspicion and distrust and selfishness and politics. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as president.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If elected, I will win.
The election result is not a victory that belongs to me or my party.
I am afraid I am a constant disappointment to my party. The fact of the matter is, the longer I am president the less of a party man I seem to become.
If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.
I will not campaign for any party.
I will be a president who is close to the people.
Without rebuilding the confidence between parties, you will never succeed.
Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace.
What we won't become is a 'Democratic Party lite!' We are a party that wants smaller government and lower taxes. Obama and the Democrats do not. We are a party that wants to encourage small business. We are a party that has a large constituent group that believes in a social agenda and we will not abandon them.
As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.
