is: ‘The American Dream.’ Later in Revelation, John presents how this hope and dream has ‘overcome
the saints’ of God, and is the desire of the whole world.” See also pgs. 309–11, 338, 357, 380–1, 423.

country that leads the world in educating its people; an America that attracts a new generation of
high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs; a future where we’re in control of our own energy;
and our security and prosperity aren’t so tied to unstable parts of the world. An economy built to last,
where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded. ...They understood they were part of
something larger, that they were contributing to a story of success that every American had a chance
to share: the basic American promise that if you worked hard, you could do well enough to raise a
family, own a home, send your kids to college, and put a little away for retirement. The defining issue
of our time is how to keep that promise alive. No challenge is more urgent. ...I will go anywhere in
the world to open new markets for American products.”

the language of this nation. People need to learn English to be able to be successful, to get great jobs.
We don't want to have people limited in their capacity to achieve the American dream because they
don't speak English. And so encouraging people through every means possible to learn the language
of America is a good idea. ...I will not apologize for having been successful. I did not inherit what my
wife and I have, nor did she. What we have—what—what I was able to build, I built the old-
fashioned way, by earning it, by working hard. And I was proud of the fact that we helped create
businesses that grew, that employed people. And these are not just high-end financial jobs. We
helped start Staples, for instance. It employs 90,000 people. These are middle-income people. There
are entry-level jobs, too. I'm proud of the fact that we helped people around the country, Bright
Horizons children centers, the Sports Authority, Steel Dynamics, a new steel company. These employ
people, middle-income people. And the nature of America is individuals pursuing their dreams don't
make everyone else poorer; they help make us all better off. And so I'm not going to apologize for
success or apologize for free enterprise. I believe free enterprise is one of the things that—that we
have to reinvigorate in this country if we want to get people working again.”
