The steps I'm announcing today also fulfill our responsibility to be good stewards of the land and water.
I have declared an emergency, and the process is now in place to aid, provide Federal aid to those who may be affected by this hurricane.
Today I'm announcing that we'll soon begin deepening 104 miles of the Columbia River Channel.
I'm proud that we're able to move forward with this project after years of review.
One reason I'm running again is to put rules in place to not only help the entrepreneur but, more importantly, help the workers be able to balance their own time.
We're at a school. One way to make America better is to make sure every child learns to read and write and add and subtract.
The solution is clear: If you want more vibrant trade, if you want more navigable rivers, if you want busier ports, we need to deepen this channel.
I'm the kind of person who says, 'When it's going to happen, it is going to happen.'
I went to Washington for a reason, and that is to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations.
I assured the folks with whom I was talking that my administration is dedicated to free and fair trade.
If America shows weakness or uncertainty in this world, the world will drift toward tragedy.
I believe that a person running for office—I'm also interested in letting people know I've got more to do to make this country a better place, a stronger place, and a safer place.
I want to make sure that—you know, the strength of our economy is the hearts and souls of the citizens.
The whole goal is to make sure that not one single child is left behind in America.
Families want to be free; we believe it's the Almighty God's gift to every man and woman on Earth—freedom.
