I think it's going in the right direction.

We're in the process of, and certainly made a great deal of progress today towards being able to discuss issues on where there isn't 100 percent agreement with greater ease and in a very much more natural way.

The global economy is not an obstacle to progress but a great opportunity for us.

We can't rest on this record.

I hope they will, and I think they're working toward that.

I'm confident that this is going to go forward.

We must draw on that spirit for our Nation to thrive in this new age.

Americans have reason to be proud; we're on the way to making this world change in a way that works for us.

I believe, in short, that we can make the kinds of changes, public changes we need to make to move this country forward.

Real progress requires a broad-base approach.

It won't happen in a day. But if we work together and we work hard, every year we can see progress.

Push us to do better. Push us to keep making progress.

But there's still a lot to do.

I feel good about where we are on that.

I also emphasized the need for progress on our trade imbalance.

We must not allow the opponents of that agreement to derail the new progress that this year has brought.

It would be tragic if this opportunity to move forward were missed.

I think that's a modest and fair price to pay for the change we seek and the progress we're making.
