Barack Obama

Now is the time for us to act.

I need all of you to tell the Senate: Put those teachers back to work.

I'm here to tell you we are going to get it done.

I'm not worried in the sense that I don't think we can solve these problems.

None of these decisions are easy, but those who are familiar with the Lord's Resistance Army know that these are some of the most vicious killers.

I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat. This is not the Republican jobs act, this is not called the Democratic jobs act, this is the 'American Jobs Act.'

I guarantee it's going to be a close election because the economy is not where it wants to be.

Our plan says we need to make it easier for small businesses on Main Street to get financing and to hire and to push this economy forward.

I understand the frustrations that are being expressed in those protests.

I genuinely am not spending a lot of time worrying about who their candidate is going to be.

Because times are tough for a lot of Americans.

We need to act right now.

I want to work with Republicans on ways to create jobs right now.

There are things we should do right now to give the economy the jolt that it needs.

Paul J. Watford has displayed exceptional dedication to the legal profession through his work and I am honored to nominate him to serve the American people as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals.

It is inconceivable to us that an economic plan for the future would contain within it the elimination of reforms that would prevent the kind of financial protector collapse.

We should be talking about jobs.

We do not believe that there is a broad consensus among the American public that we need to roll back Wall Street reforms.

There's no reason why we should sit here and watch the best highways and the newest airports being built in China.

He will be a diligent, judicious and esteemed addition to the Ninth Circuit bench.

That's what's at stake: putting people back to work, restoring economic security for the middle class.

We're going to give them another chance to spend more time worrying about your jobs than keeping theirs.

We can't afford this lack of action, and there is no reason for it.

These trade agreements will support tens of thousands of American jobs.

There's still time for Congress to do the right thing.
