I'm not a plotter or a schemer. I'm a guy that looks at problems and tries to solve them, which I have done all of my career, creating jobs in Washington, creating jobs in Ohio.

We need to give everybody a chance, treat everybody with respect, and let them share in this great American dream that we have.
