I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men... in receiving from the people the sacred trust confided to my illustrious predecessor.
On receiving from the people the sacred trust twice confided on my illustrious predecessor and which he has discharged so faithfully and so well I know that I can not expect to perform the arduous task with equal ability and success.
I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him.
