Disaster preparedness is a shared responsibility.

We have to remember that responding to a hurricane is a team effort and everybody is going to have a role to play at the Federal, State, and local levels.

I want somebody who's spending every minute of every day figuring out have we called every single veteran that's waiting.

These young men and young boys know somebody cares about them, somebody is thinking about them, and that they can succeed.

We are stronger when America fields a full team.

The idea behind My Brother's Keepers was that there are a lot of folks that want to do something.

I want to thank all the first responders out there all across the country, because when they're called on, they're the ones who have to get there first and often put themselves at risk and do an amazing job.

I encourage every American to visit ready.gov.

It's totally unacceptable.

We want our kids participating in sports.

Sports are vital to this country and it's a responsibility for us to make sure that young, talented kids like Tori are able to participate as safely as possible.

Identifying a concussion and being able to self-diagnose that this is something that I need to take care of doesn't make you weak, it means you're strong.

I learned so many lessons playing sports that I carry on to this day, even to the Presidency.

U.S. military action cannot be the only or even the primary component of our leadership in every instance. Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.
