Barack Obama

We can, as I said before, fix this thing probably for a decade or more.

I call upon the people of the United States to reaffirm our deep commitment to all those working for human rights and dignity around the world.

I view Social Security and Medicare as the most important social safety nets that we have.

We have a unique opportunity to do something big.

The bottom line is that this is not an issue of salesmanship to the American people; the American people are sold.

This is not some abstract issue.

We will continue to oppose the use of violence and repression and support the universal rights of freedom of religion, expression, and peaceful assembly.

There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary people yearning for freedom ignite the desires of people everywhere.

I think the American people expect more than that.

We don't need a constitutional amendment to do our jobs.

The American people want to see Washington do its job.

We now have an obligation to pay our bills.

The day reminded us that after the darkness of war, the light of a new dawn is possible.

We have a responsibility to do the right thing. We shouldn't be overly partisan, we shouldn't be posturing; we should solve problems.

I will not yield on this issue.

Eric, don't call my bluff. I'm going to the American people with this.

Would Ronald Reagan be sitting here? I have reached my limit. This may bring down my presidency, but I will not yield on this.

I have no doubt that India will overcome these deplorable terrorist attacks.

The American people will stand with the Indian people in times of trial.

I strongly condemn the outrageous attacks in Mumbai.

We certainly have seen sent a clear message that nobody can be messing with our embassy and that we will take whatever action is necessary in order to protect our embassy.

I cannot guarantee those that checks go out on August 3 if we haven't resolved this issue, because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.

I hope that all of you will join the family.
