Barack Obama

The United States is going to be a strong partner, not based on the old model in which we are a donor and they are simply a recipient, but a new model that's based on partnership.

I am proud to announce my intention to nominate General Philip Breedlove as the next Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and Commander of U.S. European Command.

He is as strong physically as he's been in character and in leadership over so many decades.

I am grateful for his steadfast service on behalf of our country and NATO.

Tears aren't enough.

I pledge our continued support for their efforts to build a strong society, a vibrant economy, and an enduring peace.

Nobody knows that more than these individuals.

The many who have brought Northern Ireland this far must keep rejecting their call.

When you think of a single individual that embodies the kind of leadership qualities that I think we all aspire to, the first name that comes up is Nelson Mandela.

I couldn't be placing our lives in better hands than Julia's.

I think that people are all extraordinarily proud of her.

I think are absolutely certain that she's going to thrive in this job.

Julias's reputation within the Service is extraordinary.

Julia has had an exemplary career, and I know these experiences will guide her as she takes on this new challenge to lead the impressive men and women of this important agency.

Julia is eminently qualified to lead the agency that not only safeguards Americans at major events and secures our financial system.

The soccer is very much secondary. If we can have an impact on the lives of young kids, we want to be a part of that.

I am pleased to announce that I will appoint Julia A. Pierson to be the next Director of the United States Secret Service.

I hope both these teams have a great rest of the season.

For more than three decades, Tim Johnson has dedicated himself to improving the lives of South Dakota's working families.

Julia has consistently exemplified the spirit and dedication the men and women of the service demonstrate every day.

I look forward to working with Senator Johnson as he finishes his third term.

His recovery continues to inspire us all.

I'm a little resentful, coming from Chicago, that L.A. seems to be getting all these championships.

What we're talking about is a vision for high speed rail in America.
