And we will have forged across the Atlantic a trading partnership with vast resources for freedom.
The choices we make, for good or ill, may well shape the state of the Union for generations yet to come.
We shall be judged more by what we do at home than by what we preach abroad.
I shall neither shift the burden of executive decisions to the Congress, nor avoid responsibility for the outcome of those decisions.
