Barack Obama

This is not about growing the size of Government or relying on the free market.

As a candidate, Scott courageously championed the economic plans we need to lift our Nation and put it on a better path.

I am honored that they have decided to join our team and look forward to working with them in the future.

I am confident that if all of us here in Washington do what's in the best interests of the people we represent, then we will help deliver the change that the American people sent us here to make.

I am confident that they will serve with the highest ideals of our nation in mind.

We're going to eliminate waste, reduce inefficiency, and cut what we don't need to pay for what we do.

I strongly support efforts by the Turkish and Armenian people to work through this painful history in a way that is honest, open, and constructive.

The stakes could not be higher for young people like Stephanie.

This group of impressive and distinguished individuals brings decades of service and expertise to my administration.

I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Congressman-elect Scott Murphy for his victory in New York's 20th Congressional District.

We have taken and proposed a number of sweeping steps over our first few months in office.

America cannot lead in the 21st century unless we have the best educated, most competitive workforce in the world.

Today I recommit to work with our partners in this fight.

With his proven record of creating high-paying jobs and standing up for upstate New York, Scott will bring to the Nation's Capitol the change New Yorkers need.

I will ensure that the sharing of information with Congress about all three initiatives on an ongoing basis is a top priority.

I strongly support John Trasvina's appointment as Assistant Secretary for the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.

Has never been more important.

The commitments from Congress and the Administration to double support for these activities over the next decade are more than justified.

The time has come to usher in a new era of responsibility that lays a new foundation of growth on which we can renew the promise of America.

There is a similar bill also working its way through the Senate.

There is going to be action in Congress. Our administration is going to be pushing for reform in this area.

Congratulations on being the national champions for the second time in 3 years.

That's the kind of leadership that you want to see from all our young people.

We want clarity and transparency from here on out.

Ambassador Hill will head to Iraq this week.
