I like to tell you a little bit about who i am and what my values are. I will make sure to shut up so there is still time for questions. I think our country is running out of time.

The biggest problem is the president thinks we are all suckers. We have a country where the Gross Domestic Product is going up, and Life Expectancy is going down. There will be 130 million more guns on the streets by 2020, and houses will cost half a million dollars. We definitely have problems with the president. Im here to argue this president would not be here if we did not have even bigger problems that motivated our friends to go and vote to burn the house down, and now, the houses on fire and the real question is, what is next . What are we going to do to get this country on the right track . We cannot go on with four more years of what we have
