I think America is still a bright, shining city on the hill - not because we're perfect but because we struggle in our imperfections every day.

We can't live true to our set of values unless American educational system is strong. I really believe that if we don't get that right we will not compete because we won't believe that our people can compete, and we'll turn inward. We won't lead. That will be bad for the world.
