Asia represents half of the world's gross domestic product.

With all of our challenges in America, we're in better shape than we were 21 months ago.

We are coming back. Let's don't mess it up now.

Social Security is not going to be cut, and the cost-of-living increase will go through.

It has been, from the very beginning of this administration, a very strong commitment of the President to engage the United States with Asia.

I sent in the springtime a welfare reform bill to Congress which, among other things, has a much tougher mechanism of child support enforcement.
