Barack Obama

Thank you so much, everybody.

You embody America at its best and at its bravest.

I'd ask all Americans, everybody who is watching all across the country, when you see a police officer, you meet an officer's family, let them know how much you appreciate it.

Unjust pay disparities are a detriment to women, families, and our economy.

That's why we're going to keep fighting with everything we've got to secure that right, to make sure that every American gets the care that they need when they need it at a price that they can afford.

In a country as wealthy as this one, there was no reason why a family's security should be determined by the chance of an illness or an accident.

This law already provides you with a wide array of new benefits, tough new consumer protections, stronger cost control measures than existed before the law passed.

We have no task more urgent than creating good jobs, strengthening our economy, and reigniting the thriving middle class that has always been the true engine of America's growth.

That is appreciated.

We need to rebuild the infrastructure that powers our industries.

Equal pay should be provided for work of equal value.

Thanks to the women in this room and people all across the country, we worked really hard, and it's now been more than 3 years since Congress passed the Affordable Care Act and I signed it into law.

These initiatives would help modernize communities, expand small businesses, and get more construction workers back on the job.

The Federal Government is the Nation's largest employer.

So we decided that needed to change.

This is personal to Carol and Alycia and anybody who's ever known the injustice and anxiety of a broken health care system.

Women, in particular, now have more control over their own care than ever before.

Because of the Affordable Care Act, young adults under the age of 26 are able to stay on their parent's health insurance plan, and that's already helping more than 6 million young adults.

Repairing our transportation networks is about more than economic growth—it is about security.

Let's make every child's early success a recipe for long-term success.

Openness in government strengthens our democracy, promotes the delivery of efficient and effective services to the public, and contributes to economic growth.

We want the next revolution in manufacturing to be made in America.

One of the things we're doing to fuel more private sector innovation and discovery is to make vast amounts of America's data open and easy to access for the first time in history.

That's America. We innovate. And we adapt. We move forward.

Making information resources easy to find, accessible, and usable can fuel entrepreneurship, innovation, and scientific discovery that improves Americans' lives and contributes significantly to job creation.
