"What I've put forward is a presidential directive that very clearly indicates what we will do and will not do when it comes to overseas surveillance."

"But to make that happen, we're going to have to act: to create good jobs that pay good wages and to offer more Americans a fair shot to get ahead."

"I firmly believe that this can be a breakthrough year for America."

"As long as I'm president of the United States, the chancellor of Germany will not have to worry about this."
