We're a nation of workers and dreamers and doers.

On July 11, we honor the memory of the over 8,000 innocent men and boys.

We will finish what we started, and we will remind the world why America is the greatest nation on Earth.

The last thing the Congress should do is refight old political battles and take a massive step backward by repealing basic protections that provide security for the middle class.

The Libyan people can count on the continued friendship and support of the United States.

Today's historic election underscores that the future of Libya is in the hands of the Libyan people.

I extend my congratulations to the people of Libya for another milestone on their extraordinary transition to democracy.

We will engage as partners as the Libyan people work to build open and transparent institutions.

Those steps will make a real difference in the lives of millions of Americans.

I hereby designate the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as a major Non-NATO Ally of the United States for the purposes of the Act and the Arms Export Control Act.

In America, a higher education cannot be a luxury reserved for just a few privileged people.

I promise you, your voice made all the difference.

There is no excuse for inaction when there are so many Americans still trying to get back on their feet.

A strong economy comes not from the top down, but from a strong middle class.

I'm running because I continue to be convinced that in a country like ours, the greatest country on Earth, nobody should go bankrupt just because they get sick.

The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions.

The economy has now added private sector jobs for 28 straight months, for a total of 4.4 million payroll jobs during that period.

I want to work with colleges and universities to bring tuition down once and for all.

The idea was, here in America, you could make it if you try.

We are here to help you recover.
