Really, ... what we're talking about here is the U.S. struggling to find its place in an economy where the labor markets are just so vastly different.

The minute you start talking about what you're going to do if you lose, you have lost.

We've made some changes to our menu. We've been talking to the customers to see what kind of things they want us to carry. And we've added some things that I think people are really going to like.

The president is being very aggressive in talking about the economy. He talks about it a lot more than the media report.

We believe it is important not to fall into the trap of talking the economy down unnecessarily - while at the same time being transparent about current economic reality.

You get used to people talking about it. Everyone has their two cents. I'm just going to be happy with me doing my hardest, my best. As long as I can do that. I'm not worried about eight gold medals or another trip to state. As long as I can do my best, I'll be happy, and some people don't realize that.
