I'd prefer not to go into that.

Haven't got any reports yet from the Arab summit, one way or another.

I'm not prepared to say nobody should travel anyplace in the Middle East.

I think that they more than likely would.

It's not unexpected.

I think that our fighting men that are on the ground there will be safe.

Don't go to Iraq right now.

I hope you get a little relaxation.

No, I don't see any danger.

It's an honor and, indeed, a pleasure to have you here at the White House.

You've earned the admiration of the Nation because when people say, 'It can never be done,' you're doing it.

We single out all 10 of these cities not because they claim to be the best cities in America - I think they're too smart or, in some instances, too modest for that - but because they represent what's best about American cities.

Failure to enact a debt limit increase by August 13 would prevent the Treasury from auctioning securities on August 14 and settling on August 15.
