My top priority as President is doing everything we need to do to make sure that we're growing our economy and that we're strengthening our middle class.

The United States prefers to resolve this matter peacefully, diplomatically.

So Medicare pays, in essence, 70 percent of private care costs.

So this must help that fund, shouldn't it?

I had Secretary Sebelius right at the table you are at, who in essence agreed that they had double-counted the depletion of Medicare dollars.

are we really saving money if we cut these people off from the kind of preventative or appropriate intervention here?

when people are insured, we have lots of evidence that shows that people get care earlier, they get better care, and they are less likely to die than people who don't have insurance.

Everyone here agrees that we have a growing aging population.

What I see in the plans that have been suggested on the Republican side is cost-shifting.

Are you kidding me, that we are going to, tomorrow, see the passage of a budget that not only repeals Obamacare...

We're finally poised to take control of our energy future.

We can support scientists who are designing new engines that are more energy efficient, developing cheaper batteries that go farther on a single charge.

We've supported the first new nuclear power plant since the 1970s.

The only way we're going to break this cycle of spiking gas prices for good is to shift our cars and trucks off of oil for good.

I'm proposing that we take some of our oil and gas revenues from public lands and put it towards research that will benefit the public.

We're Americans. And when we commit ourselves to something, there's no telling how far we'll go.

We honor the memories of the husbands, wives, sons, and daughters who perished at Halabja and throughout the Anfal.

Our top priority is growing our economy and creating good, middle class jobs.
