I believe that the measure of any society is how it treats its most vulnerable members.

I believe that the American people are ready for a new era of progress, of opportunity, and of prosperity.

I believe that America's best days are ahead of us, and that we have the power to make that a reality.

We must never forget that our diversity is our strength, and that we must celebrate it at every opportunity.

I believe that we have a moral obligation to leave this planet better than we found it.

Let's never forget that we're all in this together, and that we all have a role to play in building a better future.

We must never forget that every American has a right to a fair shot at success, and that we must do all we can to make that a reality.

I believe that we have a duty to ensure that every American has access to a good education, and that we must do all we can to make that a reality.

We need to be investing in our veterans, in their care and support when they return home.

We must never forget that our freedom is a precious gift, one that we must always fight to protect.

We must never forget that America is a nation of immigrants, and that we must always welcome and celebrate their contributions.

We must never forget that our most important responsibility is to leave our children and grandchildren a world that is better than the one we inherited.

I believe that we have a moral obligation to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves.

I believe that the American people are ready for a leader who is honest, transparent, and who will always put their interests first.

We must never forget that America is a beacon of hope and opportunity, and that we must do all we can to preserve that legacy.

It's just like Iraq, only the president and the few advisers buried in a bunker think Gonzales should stay.

As a matter of fact, it turns out the FDA is the weakest link in a very weak chain. We have 12 to 15 different federal agencies responsible for food safety, 30 different laws, 40 to 50 different committees on Capitol Hill. This system is…

I can tell you that it's understandable, because the FDA has very limited powers and very limited resources facing an almost unlimited challenge with global imports.
