Let’s get on with dealing with them in mutual respect and support.

Welfare reform is surely an example where all the people ought to be able to get together in the Congress to have reform.

That's the same time limit I called for when I ran for President and that I called for last year.

Today I have signed an Executive order reforming the Government's system of secrecy.

Our goals are clear.

This is a very important day and a very important piece of legislation for all of us who care about our country's Capital.

We will not permit the reclassification of information after it has been declassified and disclosed under proper authority.

These changes provide a greater opportunity to emphasize our commitment to open Government.

Protecting information critical to our Nation's security remains a priority.

The purpose of the bill I am signing today is just that; it is a road back.

Real welfare reform, tax and spending cuts that reduce both the budget deficit and the education deficit, and more steps to fight crime, not to back up on the fight: those are my top priorities.

We must pass a bill that reforms the welfare system and restores mainstream values of work and family, responsibility and community.

Delaying reform any further would be a betrayal of what the American people want.

All I can do is show up for work every day.

I think the American people want us to work together.

I want them to raise the minimum wage.

I had no occasion to veto a bill.

I think we should be focusing on what we did to break gridlock.
