Medicare is a sacred trust between America and its seniors.

We are going to find you, we will prosecute you, and we will ultimately prevent those crimes from happening ever again.

That was the promise of Medicare.

These issues are important to FHA's ability to facilitate our recovery while protecting the taxpayer.

Your guaranteed benefits will not change.

I want to make sure that we are reimbursing through Medicare not just for the traditional choices.

We're not going back; we are going to move forward.

The bottom line is that IT can help us achieve this in a government that is increasingly complex, serving a nation of 300 million people.

Reducing this waste will not close the significant budget gap we face.

That doesn't seem fair.

That's why I'm committed to reforming the way in which we compensate doctors under Medicare.

Execution matters – and matters a lot.

Pleased to announce my intent to nominate Ward Brehm to the Board of Directors of the African Development Foundation.

I am proud to nominate such accomplished and dedicated individuals to these important roles.

This will extend the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by 12 years and provide cost savings to Medicare beneficiaries.

The doughnut hole will be gone.

I am grateful for their decision to serve, and look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.

We made a promise to America's seniors that you can live out your golden years with some basic peace of mind and health coverage that you can count on.

I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf. A month ago, I was meeting with fishermen down there, standing in the rain, talking about what a potential crisis this could be. And I…

I do not want to see BP nickel-and-diming these businesses that are having a very tough time.

Every child, every opportunity, every time.

They are inspirations not just to their students, but to the Nation and the world.

Don't just hang out with people who look like you, and worship like you, and share your political views.

Service binds us to each other — and to our communities and our country — in a way that nothing else can.

I am absolutely confident that, as we have before, we will get through this crisis.
