I want to report to you this afternoon and to the American people about the progress we've made toward achieving a balanced budget that reflects our values.

I think that she should do that.

Every American knows that we are living in a time of great change.

You must do that for yourselves and especially for your children.

We should not make the perfect the enemy of the good.

I look forward to being with you tomorrow in a land where the waste of war is finally giving way to the promise of peace.

Let me say again, I think it is wrong.

We passed a tough crime bill, and that helped people all across America to bring the crime rate down.

Only you can do that, with the courage of an open mind and the generosity of an open heart.

Unemployment is down in Ohio from 7 percent to under 5 percent.

I'm optimistic that we will balance the budget, and I know we have come too far to let this opportunity slip away.

Today I announced that we will provide Federal disaster assistance in situations where response is beyond the capability of State and local governments.

Thanks for doing a great job.

Seize this chance for peace.

I want every child in the State of Ohio and in the United States to be able to look forward to a brighter future.

It would be wrong and almost inconceivable for the United States to default on its debt.

We can balance a budget in 7 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office, without having dangerously low levels of commitment to Medicare and Medicaid.

I don't believe that.
