This President is going to lead us out of this recovery.

I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective we've had in a couple of hundred years.

You cannot lead this country by misleading the people.

When I talked to him on the phone yesterday. I called him George rather than Mr. Vice President. But, in public, it's Mr. Vice President, because that is who he is.

I am uniquely positioned and prepared to be president. I can assure you I am serious. I am committed,

The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him when I arrive.
