I do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 26, 2014, as a day of prayer for permanent peace.
The budget is not just about numbers, it's about our values, and it's about our future.
A home is a source of pride and security, a place to raise a family and put down roots.
Today, we pause to remember our fallen troops, to mourn their loss, and to pray for their loved ones.
This Memorial Day, as we near the end of more than a decade of war, let us never forget their service and always be worthy of the sacrifices made in our name.
We continue to lend our unique assets and capabilities to assist the search.
Tourism translates into jobs, and it translates into economic growth.
We've gone from losing 800,000 jobs a month to creating over 9 million jobs.
The deficit—you wouldn't know it always from reading the newspapers—has been cut by more than half.
I would point out that it is certainly possible, and there are precedents for it, to see Ukraine carry out free and fair elections even if there are pockets of the country where there is violence.
The administration shares and supports the goals of the bill, ensuring accountability at the VA.
We offer our condolences and sympathies to the victims, their families, and all those affected by this attack.
I am honored that these talented individuals have decided to join this Administration and serve our country.
He's directed Secretary Shinseki to make sure that the VA is making maximum use of its existing authorities and looking at whether the VA needs any additional tools in this area.
It is a great honor to be the first sitting President ever to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Nothing is more important than restoring, making real that ideal that if you work hard in this country, you can make it.
We certainly hope that President Putin and the Defense Secretary are true to their word and that this is the beginning of a withdrawal of Russian troops from the Ukrainian border.
The goal here is not for me to give a long speech, because I want to have a conversation with you.
