What we don't want is kids going down that path in the first place.

I would say that I am 95 percent cured, but there are times where -- there are times where I mess up.

This tired strategy of using old tensions to scapegoat other countries won't work anymore in Iran.

If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, they must respect those rights and heed the will of its own people. They must govern through consent not coercion.

The United States and the international community have been appalled and outraged by the threats and the beatings and imprisonments of the last few days. I strongly condemn these unjust actions.

We've seen courageous women stand up to the brutality and threats and we have experienced the searing image of a woman bleeding to death on the streets. While this loss is raw and extraordinarily painful we know this, those who stand up…

It's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking and I think that anybody who sees it knows that there's something fundamentally unjust about that.

I've made it clear that the United States respects the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is not interfering with Iran's affairs. But we must also bear witness to the courage and dignity of the Iranian people and the…

I'm interested in going forward, not looking backward.

I think that what is important is looking at what our policies are today and what my administration intends to do in cooperating with the region.

I think the United States has been an enormous force for good in the world.

It is heartbreaking, and I think that anybody who sees it knows that there's something fundamentally unjust about that.

I strongly condemn these unjust actions.

The next president will have to deal with more than one thing at once.

Michelle and I were saddened by the terrible accident in northeast Washington, D.C. today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends affected by this tragedy.

I want to thank the brave first responders who arrived immediately to save lives.
