They're also reminding the rest of the world the recovery is barely started, and more money is needed.

How can we help you develop a democracy?

I'd like to see more progress... because progress is being made.

We work with friends like we're doing.

Pleased to announce my decision to nominate Ambassador John Negroponte as director of national intelligence.
