Politics

I urge the Congress to give it favorable consideration.

Today is a victory for all the veterans' organizations who fought for this legislation.

We will not be terrorized.

But today, this regime is under increasing pressure.

The federal government is prepared to provide support.

Politics has never been for the thinskinned or the faint of heart.

I'm just the President.

I cherish that work as well.

America's success has never been a given.

You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it.

When our Government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, Government is us.

This democracy we have is a precious thing.

Are people being nice?

We could not be prouder.

We celebrate our commitment to the rule of law and to upholding the fundamental principles enshrined in our founding documents.

Passing the legislation is a critical step in restoring our Government to its rightful owners, the American people.

I think that I can get a majority of Democrats to support a comprehensive approach.

I want us to do better than we were doing.
