We want to make sure that through this piece of legislation, with our hard work, that every kid is getting the same opportunities that Antonio is getting.
We are committed to work together to reach an ambitious and durable climate change agreement.
It creates real partnerships between the States, which will have new flexibility to tailor their improvement plans, and the Federal Government, which will have the oversight to make sure that the plans are sound.
The U.S. is prepared to go ahead with its own sanctions. We are prepared to take other steps.
This bill upholds the core value that education, the key to economic opportunity, is a civil right.
Our success won't depend on tough talk or abandoning our values or giving in to fear. That's what groups like ISIL are hoping for. Instead, we will prevail by being strong, smart, resilient, and relentless and by drawing upon every aspect…
The strongmen of today will never extinguish the hope that persists around the world.
To rise above the cynicism and rise above the fear, to hold fast to our values.
I underscored the abiding U.S. commitment to the U.S.-Israeli relationship and to further strengthening Israel's security.
