My door is always open.

I believe a key part of that foundation is America's small businesses.

We can continue to ignore the growing burden of runaway costs of health care.

We are not helpless in the face of our difficulties.

And it's worth remembering, every once in a while a small business becomes a big business and then changes the world.

I look forward to working with them in the weeks and months ahead.

Today, we're taking another step towards assisting small business owners get the capital they need to grow and hire.

To complete this mission.

I hope--what I strongly urge--is that we work quickly and we work together to get this done.

The true engine of job creation will always be businesses.

Let their sacrifice be a summons.

I am proud that these distinguished individuals will serve in my Administration.

The arts and the humanities enhance the vibrancy of our society, inspire us and strengthen our democracy.

What government can do is fuel that engine: by giving entrepreneurs and companies the support to open their doors, expand, and hire more workers.

To win this war, and to keep our country safe.

We're starting with small businesses because that's where most of the new jobs do.

To carry on their work.

The nation that leads the world in creating new sources of clean energy will be the Nation that leads the 21st century global economy.

We should take our time finalizing a health-care bill.

We are going to keep working to get it done.

Surely we can agree to find common ground when possible, parting ways when necessary.

This bipartisan team strengthens the partnership between our State Governments and the Federal Government when it comes to ensuring our national preparedness and homeland defense.

I took it on because families are dealing with skyrocketing premiums and skyrocketing out-of-pocket costs and insurance companies that routinely deny coverage because of preexisting conditions.
