I hereby certify that the debt subject to limit is within $100,000,000,000 of the limit in 31 U.S.C. 3101(b) and that further borrowing is required to meet existing commitments.
I rose to national prominence by a speech that said there is no red--there are no red States and no blue States; it was the United States of America.
Everybody deserves a fair shot, everybody has to do their fair share, and everybody has got to play by the same set of rules.
I absolutely believe that the American people still have confidence and faith in this country.
It reflects his unwavering commitment to working with Congress when possible, and acting unilaterally when necessary, to put in place a set of economic policies that reflects his vision for an American economy where everyone gets a fair…
The top priority on the President's domestic agenda is strengthening the economy and creating jobs here in the United States at this make-or-break moment for the middle class.
I want us to be known for making and selling products all over the world stamped with three proud words: Made in America.
When you factor in all the costs, we have an outstanding market, we have the most innovative entrepreneurs, the best research universities.
I have kept faith with that vision all these years, and that's not wavered.
Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to the country that made our success possible.
Now is the time to extend that middle class tax cut for all of this year.
And I am just as determined as I ever was--more determined with all that I've seen over the last several years--more determined than ever to make sure that we've got a Government that is reflective of those values.
