The White House Office for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships will be a resource for nonprofits and community organizations.

I'm very much looking forward to the partnership with Turkey.

Turkey's democracy is your own achievement.

I reiterated my support to make sure that we are supporting Turkey in dealing with terrorist threats that may--they may experience.

I am trying to make a statement about the importance of Turkey not just to the United States but to the world.

I think Turkey was--modern Turkey was founded with a similar set of principles.

Turkey is a critical ally.

The threat of a terrorist acquiring and using a nuclear weapon is the most immediate and extreme threat we face.

Make no mistake, as long as nuclear weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure, and effective arsenal to deter any adversary, and guarantee that defense to our allies.

It's hard for 20 heads of state to bridge their differences. We've all got our own national policies. We all have our own assumptions, our own political cultures but our citizens are all hurting. They all need us to come together.

All of us here in London have a responsibility to act with a sense of urgency and every nation that will be participating has been affected by a crisis that's cost us so much.

I had meetings with the Chinese, the Russians, and I'm proud to say I did not nod off in any of those meetings.

There have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

After the initial NATO engagement in Afghanistan, we got sidetracked by Iraq.

I've sent a clear message to the leaders and peoples of Iran that while we have real differences, we also have mutual interests and we seek new engagement based on mutual respect.

The United States of America did not choose to fight a war in Afghanistan. We were attacked by an Al Qaeda network that killed thousands on American soil, including French and Germans.

France recognizes that having Al Qaeda operate safe havens that can be used to launch attacks is a threat and not just to the United States, but to Europe.

Now, I have come to Europe this week to renew our partnership one in which America listens and learns from our friends and allies, but where our friends and allies bear their share of the burden.

But having said all that, I truly believe that there's nothing more noble than public service.

The reckless speculation of bankers that has now fueled a global economic downturn that's inflicting pain on workers and families is happening everywhere, all across the globe.

Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not just in the United States but to Iran's neighbors and our allies.

The launch of a missile by North Korea defies UN Security Council resolutions and harms peace and stability in northeast Asia.

By working together, we're going to be able to make both our countries more prosperous and more peaceful for future generations.

I think it makes more important the topics he discussed today: the danger of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

I think that the North Koreans have disregarded their responsibilities and international resolutions for many, many years now.
