Everyone deserves a fair chance, everyone deserves a fair go.

While our work together is far from over, today we can see what change looks like. It's the Native American-owned small business that's opening its doors, or a worker helping a school renovate. It's new roads and houses. It's wind turbines…

I am very pleased that we are able to make these announcements here together on Australian soil.

I want to congratulate Republicans and Democrats in Congress for coming together to pass these tax credits that will encourage businesses to hire America's veterans.

The impact of any loss of life among our troops is heartbreaking.

I welcome a rising, peaceful China.

This is a good first step, but it is only a step.

We would hope and want that it balances between a long tradition of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech.

The bonds between the American people and the Greek people are strong and deep.

We encourage all nations to raise their concerns in the context of the East Asia Summit.

H.J. Res. 2 ducks responsibility and does not take the Nation's fiscal challenges head-on.

The United States is invested in the success of emerging democracies across the region.

H.J. Res. 2 would impose serious risks for our economy in several ways.
