Thailand's role as a regional hub for ASEAN Connectivity is critical.

Thailand is America's oldest treaty ally in Asia.

I look forward to Thailand's co-hosting of the ASEAN Regional Forum Disaster Relief Exercise with the Republic of Korea in 2013.

The partnership between Thailand and the United States would facilitate cooperation to overcome these transboundary challenges at both regional and global levels.

I reiterated continued U.S. support for the development of the Mekong sub-region.

Every single day, the good people of this country work as hard as you can to meet your responsibilities.

Engagement will show the way to address those challenges.

We believe that Israel has a right to defend itself.

We absolutely do not think that they are at the end of the road; they're at the beginning of the road of a democratic transition.

We shouldn't hold the middle class hostage while Congress debates tax cuts for the wealthy.

The transition to democracy is far from complete in Burma.

I was inspired by the grit and resilience of the American people, by your hard work and sense of decency.

If you do the right thing, you're going to find incentives on the other end of those decisions.

I'm willing to work with anyone of any party to move this country forward.

Our task now is to build on that progress, because this Nation only succeeds when we've got a growing, thriving middle class.

Work as hard as you can to make our lives better, and do it together.

Thailand's democracy is strong enough to weather those challenges.

Allies are the cornerstone of our rebalancing effort in Asia.

[M]y sense is that what Mr. Chavez has done over the last several years has not had a serious National security impact on us.

Let us recommit to keeping America's promise alive for every family.

People all across the country share our agenda.

Every family deserves the chance to make a better future for themselves and their children.

I want to thank all the leadership for coming.

Strong families will always be at the heart of my Administration's agenda—from the classroom to the workplace to our military.

My hope is that this is going to be the beginning of a fruitful process.
