We need all hands on deck. And so I am thrilled that we have Secretary Sebelius taking the reins. She is going to be immediately briefed on the issues that we're working on right now. I expect her to hit the ground running.
President Obama expresses his confidence in Secretary Sebelius as she takes charge of the health response to the swine flu outbreak.

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.
I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
When we choose, when we make that decision, I do believe – and there is evidence for this – that the world gets incrementally better, and that is a worthy goal and it’s worth fighting for.
