Barack Obama

Here in America, we believe in individual initiative and self-reliance, but we also believe there are some things we do together.

We owe it to them to keep moving forward.

Everyone needs to do their part.

Congress needs to step up and guarantee that 98 percent of Americans and 97 percent of small-business owners won't see their taxes go up next year.

These rules mean that big banks are no longer going to be able to make risky bets with your deposits.

Our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past 2 1/2 years.

Republicans in Congress need to stop trying to refight the battles of the past few years and finally start doing something to actually help the middle class get ahead.

More Americans are entering the workforce.

Four years after the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, we're seeing signs that, as a nation, we're moving forward again.

Ask them how that helps the middle class.

Don't worry. Somebody's finally getting tough on Big Bird. Elmo, you better make a run for it. Governor Romney is going to let Wall Street run wild again but he's going to bring the hammer down on Sesame Street.

For all you moms and kids out there, don't worry. Somebody's finally getting tough on Big Bird. Elmo, you better make a run for it. Governor Romney is going to let Wall Street run wild again, but he's going to bring the hammer down on…

Today's news should give us some encouragement. It shouldn't be an excuse for the other side to try to talk down the economy just to try to score a few political points. It's a reminder that this country's come too far to turn back now.

We're not going to let that happen.

Mitt Romney is willing to say and do anything to become President.

Are you registered to vote?

We have made too much progress to return to the policies that led to the crisis in the first place.

This is a choice not just between two candidates or two parties, but a choice between two fundamentally different visions for America.

We need to be investing in education and hiring math and science teachers.

We need to deal with our deficit challenges in a balanced approach.

This country succeeds not just when folks at the top are doing well.

The values that we are fighting for and care about of hard work and looking out for one another, those are not rich values or poor values or business values or worker values—they are American values.

I do hereby proclaim October 7 through October 13, 2012, as Fire Prevention Week.

We can't afford another round of tax cuts for wealthy folks.

You made these things happen.
