People ask me sometimes, who inspires you, Mr. President? Those quiet heroes all across this country -- some of your parents and grandparents who are sitting here -- no fanfare, no articles written about them, they just persevere. They just do their jobs.

My mum, for the way that she brought up her three children and managed to make her money work. She worked as a cleaner for all these families we went to church with.

I just hate to work, so I can’t choose one.
