Barack Obama

We did it in a year and a half—in a year and a half.

Do we continue to build a middle class and generate ladders of opportunity so that anybody who works hard and is willing to take responsibility can succeed?

A great nation doesn't say, 'No, we can't,' it says, 'Yes, we can.'

Building a world-class transportation system is one of the reasons America became an economic superpower in the first place.

It doesn't mean they're going to agree with us on everything.

I want us to, most of all, most importantly, rebuild an economy where hard work is valued and responsibility is respected and rewarded.

The good news is, on every issue that you and I care about, the country is actually on our side.

Rebuilding America, that shouldn't be a partisan issue.

The country is, by most measures, doing much better than when I came into office.

My main message is one of hope.

Today I'm here to talk about one of the best ways to create new jobs and spur our economy, and that is to rebuild America's infrastructure.

I don't like America being 19th.

Bashar al-Assad has lost all legitimacy to rule Syria and has no place in Syria's future.

Today, our troops are coming home.

We want them to continue to come here.

Let's make this happen.

Their sacrifice motivates me, to be the best I can be.

Bottom line is, Kyle joined the Army.

You make us proud, and you motivate all of us to be the best we can be as Americans.

We've got to have stronger border security.

This system is not fair.

Your voices are going to be critical.

Most Americans—the majority of Americans—know this is the right thing to do.
