I call on Congress to continue its past support for apprenticeship in the final Fiscal Year 2017 spending bill.

America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are living monuments to the cause that has driven each generation of our citizens in the task of perfecting our Union.

HBCUs and community colleges help build our Nation's economy and strengthen the middle class.

The United States' strong partnership with Nigeria at every level of government is vital.

I think it's a three-legged stool and you left out one, which is vigorous enforcement of antidiscrimination laws.

If you are man enough to get in the White House, you shouldn't be whining about things like losing an election.

This is not a rigged system. There are Republicans who are running elections as well.

Fortune favors the bold.

It ain't over till it's over.

Today is bittersweet for Michelle and I because this marks the final official visit and state dinner of my Presidency.

It's critically important because... a strong and united and confident and prosperous Europe... that's a necessity for the United States, and it's a necessity for the world.

Women and men of every faith, background, and race have channeled their talents and ingenuity into harnessing the spirit of innovation that has long been the hallmark of our people.

We are also working closely with the Italians to support the Libyan Government of National Accord.
