I am proud to announce that I'll be nominating two outstanding individuals to my Cabinet who will focus on precisely these issues.

Only Mexicans can decide how Mexico reforms.

We are committed to working in partnership with Mexico on the security challenges facing both countries.

We recognize the importance of protecting intellectual property to our broader goals of economic growth and innovation.

Education is a key tool for economic opportunity.

One of the problems we have had in the past is that something--sometimes it takes too long to get projects off the ground. There are all these permits and red tape and planning and this and that, and some of it is important to do but we…

I think it's critical for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on…

I've reviewed the Treasury Department watchdog report. The misconduct that it uncovered is inexcusable.

I join the citizens of our Nation in giving thanks, in accordance with our own faiths and consciences, for our many freedoms and blessings.

We're poised to do even more, thanks to Julius's efforts.

Let us give thanks for the freedom to practice our faith as we see fit, whether individually or in fellowship.

I'm ready to sign that bill.

American ingenuity, American innovation, and that we're setting up legal structures and regulatory structures that facilitate this continued growth and expansion that can create good jobs and continue to grow our economy.

So Mel understands as well as anybody what caused the housing crisis.

Let us pray for peace and goodwill today and in the days ahead as we work to meet the great challenges of our time.

It's a hard case to make because I think for a lot of Americans, the notion is out of sight, out of mind.

This month, we recommit to giving them that critical support.

As a Nation, we are bound together not by the colors of our skin, the tenets of our faith, or the origins of our names.

The use of chemical weapons would be a game changer, not simply for the United States, but for the international community.

Robust codes and standards for our buildings play an important role in keeping us safe.

Let us mark this occasion by celebrating that history, upholding the right to due process, and honoring all who have sustained our proud legal tradition.
