"In response to your mandate, our administration has worked to return the civil rights laws to their original meaning—to prevent discrimination against any and all Americans."
"That's the vision our entire administration is committed to—a society that keeps faith with the promise of our Declaration of Independence."
"I also urge the American people to celebrate those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, set aside by Congress as a time to honor America."
"Our country is great because it is built on principles of self-reliance, opportunity, innovation, and compassion for the others."
