Remarks to the Community in Milford, Michigan
September 27, 1992

    Listen, thank you all very, very much. Barbara and I are thrilled to 
be here, delighted to be with your great Governor, John Engler, and 
Michelle. And let me just tell you what a great day it is to be in 
Michigan. Even the Clinton people are nice around this State. It's 
wonderful. [Laughter]
    We've made a great dramatic change for world peace. To listen to 
Governor Clinton talk about it, foreign affairs and national security is 
nothing. I am proud to have served my country in wartime, and I'm proud 
to have served it in peace. And I am proud that because of our 
leadership, we have far less fear of nuclear weapons today. And now we 
need your help to renew America. We cannot let a tax-and-spend Governor 
come in and change things in that direction. Let's change them by 
holding the line on taxes, cutting back on this spending, and giving 
power to the people of Michigan. That's what we've got to do.
    Thank you for a great day. We don't want this train to run late, but 
we do want to say hello and say thank you very much for this warm 
welcome.
    Don't listen to Governor Clinton when he tries to tear down this 
country and say we're somewhere below Germany and above Sri Lanka. Never 
forget we are the United States of America, the greatest country on the 
face of the Earth. We can overcome every problem we've got, but don't do 
it by putting in the Arkansas Governor who wants to raise your taxes and 
raise spending. Give me 4 more years. Leave Barbara as the best First 
Lady in the entire world. And let's win this election. Let us win this 
election.
    Thank you very, very much. All aboard! All aboard! All aboard!

                    Note: The President spoke at 12:25 p.m. on the 
                        observation deck of the Spirit of America train.
