Barack Obama

We know what we need to do.

But Ray also understood that our imaginations could be used as a tool for better understanding, a vehicle for change, and an expression of our most cherished values.

That's not the history of what's made us great.

Change is making sure that not only are we attracting manufacturing back to our shores, but we're investing in advanced manufacturing.

The other side wants to take this country.

We've made sure that 30 million people can get health insurance who didn't have it before.

Millions of young people are getting scholarships now or loans or grants that they weren't getting before.

I want to make sure that every single veteran who comes home from Iraq or Afghanistan, that they don't have to fight for a job or a roof over their heads here in the United States of America after they fought for us.

Now we inherited a trillion-dollar deficit. The other side doesn't like to be reminded of this.

I reiterate my congratulations to Her Majesty, the Queen, on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee.

Women are bringing home 23 percent less than their male counterparts.

Congratulations to President-elect Danilo Medina on his recent electoral victory.

I plan on getting 4 more years, because of you.

I am more determined now than I was in 2008.

I look forward to working with President-elect Medina on bilateral and regional issues of mutual interest.

And just about everybody here, somewhere in their lives they've known that when we work together we can't be stopped.

I promised you I would always tell you what I thought.

The good news is, the American people, I think, agree with us.

This challenge represents just one more way that the Administration is empowering women with the tools they need to make sure they get equal pay for equal work.

We're not the ones who changed.

It's essential that we build an economy where everyone gets a fair shot.

We're not going to go back to the days when 30 million people can't get health insurance despite working two jobs.

It was about a common set of values that we held dear.

I am not king. I can’t do these things just by myself.

Now is not the time to play politics.
