Its gotten smaller since. And i went to a consolidated middle school in afton iowa and i had a long bus ride, 45 minutes each way on a good day. And one day i was in middle school and the bus was driving through afton and its a very small town. And has a little tiny town square, and the bus came to a stop because there is an honest to god traffic jam. [laughter] in afton iowa. And the bus was stopped and kids started to get rowdy. Theyre saying lets go lets go, where we stopped. Lets move lets go. And the bus driver, she shouted back the bank is closed.

President of the United States of america. We are showing the progress that we have made in this country. Like many of you, i know the promise of america. My grandmother came here when she was seven years old as an immigrant from mexico. Just two generations later, one of her grandsons is serving in they United States congress and the other is running for president of the United States.
