From the newest arrivals to our Native American brothers and sisters, we are one America.

I'm more of the sneaker-wearing, computer geek type.

We are a diverse country, but we are one country. And we are at our best when we come together as Americans, not despite our differences, but in celebration of them.

I'm too busy thinking what I'm going to say next to remember what I've said, but my staff tells me I'm sometimes funny. Not always on purpose, though.

The foundation of a strong economy and job creation begins with providing every child in America with the best possible education, including students with disabilities.
