I am grateful they have chosen to take on these new roles, and I look forward to working with them in the coming months and years.
Barack Obama
The Public Record
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Illinois in the U.S. Senate from 2005 to 2008 and served in the Illinois State Senate from 1997 to 2004. Obama is known for his signature policies including the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and his efforts in economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis. His presidency was marked by significant legislative achievements and a focus on healthcare reform, climate change, and foreign policy initiatives such as the Iran nuclear deal.
His level of frustration is very high and that every moment that that hole is not plugged the President has a deep level of concern.
He's not going to make a bill bipartisan at the cost of making it weaker for the American people.
We can't have an economy that's just built on maxing out on credit cards and home equity loans.
Drug courts are a key element of a holistic approach for reducing the drug abuse and its consequences in the Nation.
He's going to keep talking to Republicans because he thinks that no one party has a monopoly on good ideas.
The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.
We end up getting caught up in the moment instead of what is important for the future.
Bipartisanship isn't just making deals for the sake of making deals so you can call something bipartisanship.

Drug courts provide a critical service to our Nation's families and communities by offering viable treatment options for individuals struggling with substance abuse, while reducing the burden on the Nation's courts, jails, and prisons.
I express my support for a strong, integrated Europe capable of advancing our shared interests around the world.
This has been as tough a year and a half as any year and a half in our history since the 1930s
We are going to, over time, transition to ourselves, and we will become more energy efficient.
That's the kind of politics that's going to create a better future for the Nation
