Madam Speaker, before being elected to Congress, I ran a manufacturing business that did a significant percentage of our sales outside the United States.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The business of America is business.
I run businesses all around the United States, all around the globe.
I wish I had known more firsthand about the concerns and problems of American businesspeople while I was a U.S. senator and later a presidential nominee. That knowledge would have made me a better legislator and a more worthy aspirant to the White House.
I'm not a politician. I'm a businessperson.
And now, of course this is another thing I didn't count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.
I'm a New York businessman.
We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.
The President is the CEO of this business that we call America.
Bill, The United States is not a company. It is a country.
I'm an accountant. I'm a manufacturer from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who stepped up to the plate, and now I'm a U.S. senator.
