Barack Obama

We must safely and responsibly develop our oil resources here at home.

America is producing more oil today than at any time in the last 8 years.

The actions the President took today will ensure that that process is -- moves as quickly as possible as a matter of -- as a national priority.

We can remind the entire world just why it is the United States of America is the greatest nation on Earth.

We should not be held hostage to events on the other side of the world.

I found it absurd some of the suggestions that the President or the White House...was running away from or not interested in talking about the Affordable Care Act.

Producing more oil at home isn't enough by itself to bring gas prices down.

America is now importing less than half the oil we use for the first time in more than a decade.

I want us to control our own energy destiny.

He's committed to expediting this process.

Neither the Steering Committee, nor the CPO, may direct or coordinate agency decisions with respect to any particular permit or project.

We will continue to withdraw U.S. forces at a steady pace.

In the long run we need to reduce America's dependence on oil.

Each of these elements must be incorporated into routine agency practice to provide demonstrable improvements in the performance of Federal infrastructure permitting and review processes.

While this vote marks a moment of bipartisan cooperation, there is much more work to be done to create an economy that is built to last.

We live and do business in the Information Age, but the last major reorganization of the government happened in the age of black-and-white TV.

Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstone of this presidency.

We are doing the all of the above strategy right.

The American people stand shoulder to shoulder with our French allies and friends in this trying time.

Four billion dollars is a lot of money, and we've been subsidizing them for a hundred years.

As long as I'm President, we will not walk away from the promise of clean energy.

That's why we need an all-of-the-above energy strategy.

Ultimately what Americans care about is the huge burden that it's placing on families right now.

We think it's an important -- a modest, but important step.

I believe this all-of-the-above approach is the only way we can continue to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
