We will support the Millennium Development Goals, and approach next year's summit with a global plan to make them a reality. And we will set our sights on the eradication of extreme poverty in our time.

This is not the time to pat ourselves on the back.

It's smoke and mirrors, it's bogus, and it's all too familiar.

I am very grateful that George has agreed to lead the Office and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the coming months and years.

I'm honored to be joined by one of the greatest public servants we've ever had.

Each of us has a role to play and all of us have something to contribute.

Will we continue to be a land of opportunity where all things are still possible for all people or a place where those born without advantages have the deck stacked against them?

All of you are showing why I feel inspired and I get up every day even when I'm a little pooped.

We need to do everything we can in Afghanistan in order to ensure that there's a strong stable government.

Service isn't separate from our national priorities or secondary to our national priorities, it's integral to achieving our national priorities.

We're looking for them to get through this process, just like everyone else is.

The legitimacy of this election and of the leadership of Afghanistan is in the hands of the Afghan people.

George brings decades of experience and has served with integrity and a deep commitment to his country.

As Americans, we are all affected when our promises of equality go unfulfilled.

This community has actually used the crisis as an opportunity to start rebuilding and try and experiment with new ways of learning.

We are committed to making sure that a disaster like Katrina does not happen again.

I want everybody to know that we are keeping faith with your support.

And it's his hope that he's judged not just by the words that he says but by the actions that he's done and that he continues to do over the course of his administration.

I'm not tired; I'm just getting started.

I want a promise from every single one of you that you guys are going to work hard in school each and every day.

We will continue to strive for a more just and equitable Nation that celebrates diversity in all its forms and promotes the full inclusion of all individuals in our communities.

I will do my very best to live up to my responsibilities to our country, to our children, to the future that we hold in common.

People, if they had high premiums on their health care before, they're going to have even higher premiums after.

I'm not tired; I'm refreshed.
