The way to an American economic comeback, the way to help those out of work today find a paycheck, is to unleash the forces of job creation in America.

A concrete agenda and landslide victory might not even guarantee a president his mandate in a capital as polarized as Washington. ↗

I intend to travel to Okinawa and to visit with Okinawa officials and the citizens of Okinawa at an early date. I will send my best analysis of that situation, including the local attitudes, back to Washington, to the government there. ↗
