As your president, I care too much about this nation to let anyone stand in the way of our people's wellbeing.

Our children are our most cherished possession. In their early years, we must make sure they get a healthy start in life. They must receive the right food for a healthy body, the right education for a bright and inquiring mind - and the equal opportunity for a meaningful job.

I did not become president to be popular. To work, to lead, to protect and preserve our country, our people, that is why I became president.
