We Are Very Frustrated Because We Have A Supreme Court That Seems Determined To Say That The Wealthier Have More Right To Free Speech Than The Rest Of Us. For Example, They Say You Couldn't Stop Me From Spending All The Money I've Saved Over The Last Five Years On Hillary's Campaign If I Wanted To, Even Though It Would Clearly Violate The Spirit Of Campaign Finance Reform.

America Can No Longer Afford To Get The Nobel Prizes While Our Competitors Get The Profits.

Just Because You Can't Do Everything, It Doesn't Mean You Shouldn't Do What You Can.

One Of The Main Reasons We Ought To Re-elect President Obama Is That He Is Still Committed To Constructive Cooperation... He Appointed Republican Secretaries Of Defense, The Army And Transportation. He Appointed A Vice President Who Ran Against Him In 2008.

When I Leave The Office On January 20th, I Will Leave Even More Idealistic Than I Was The Day I Took The Oath Of Office.

The United States Is Too Big And We Are Too Involved With Too Many People For Any President To Be Able To Take Actions That Will Be Universally Agreed To All Day, Every Day And Everywhere In The World.

We Live In A Completely Interdependent World, Which Simply Means We Can Not Escape Each Other. How We Respond To Aids Depends, In Part, On Whether We Understand This Interdependence. It Is Not Someone Else's Problem. This Is Everybody's Problem.

Our New Immigrants Must Be Part Of Our One America. After All, They're Revitalizing Our Cities, They're Energizing Our Culture, They're Building Up Our Economy. We Have A Responsibility To Make Them Welcome Here, And They Have A Responsibility To Enter The Mainstream Of American Life. That Means Learning English And Learning About Our Democratic System Of Government. There Are Now Long Waiting Lines Of Immigrants That Are Trying To Do Just That. Therefore, Our Budget Significantly Expands Our Efforts To Help Them Meet Their Responsibility. I Hope You Will Support It.

The United States Should.... Avoid Unilateral Export Controls And Controls On Technology Widely Available In World Markets. Unilateral Controls Penalize U.s. Exporters Without Advancing U.s. National Security Or Foreign Policy Interests.

One Of The Things That I Realized When I Left Office Was That In The 1990's Citizens Across The World Applied More Power Than They Had Ever Had, As Compared With The Government, Because Of More People Living Under Democracies Than Dictatorships For The First Time, The Power Of The Internet, Which The Young Chinese Used To Basically Change China's Policy On The Sars Epidemic, And Shut It Down, And Because Of The Rise In Non-governmental Organizations Like My Foundation.

When People Think, Democrats Win.

It Turns Out That Advancing Equal Opportunity And Economic Empowerment Is Both Morally Right And Good Economics. Why? Because Discrimination, Poverty And Ignorance Restrict Growth. We Know That Investments In Education, Infrastructure And Scientific And Technological Research Increase Growth. They Increase Good Jobs, And They Create New Wealth For All Of Us.

The Purpose Of Affirmative Action Is To Give Our Nation A Way To Finally Address The Systemic Exclusion Of Individuals Of Talent On The Basis Of Their Gender, Or Race From Opportunities To Develop, Perform, Achieve And Contribute. Affirmative Action Is An Effort To Develop Systematic Approach To Open The Doors Of Education, Employment, And Business Development Opportunities To Qualified Individuals Who Happen To Be Members Of Groups That Have Experienced Long-standing And Persistent Discrimination.

I Love The Book Signings, You Know, Because I Get To Talk To Real People, And A Staggering Number Of People Have Said Something Very Specific To Me. "the Family Leave Law Saved My Family," Or "made Our Lives Better," Or, "the Education Aid That You Provided Made It Possible For Me To Go To College." One Man At 50 Years Of Age Got His College Degree.

It Was All Perfectly Transparent. Everybody Knew What They Wanted And What I Wanted.

This Remains A Very Important Opportunity For The American People To Have Their Day In Court Against Big Tobacco And Its Marketing Practices. I Urge Congress To Provide The Funding To Allow The Lawsuit To Move Forward, And Not To Shield The Tobacco Industry From The Consequences Of Its Actions.

I Believe In Religious Liberty. I Believe In Freedom Of Speech. I Believe In Working Hard And Playing By The Rules. I'm Showing Up For Work Tomorrow.

Freedom Of Speech

It's Only In America Where There Seems To Be This Sort Of Systematic Denial Of The Reality Of Global Warming At The Governmental Level, And In Too Many Sectors Of The High, The Private Sector. But It Looks To Me The Business Community May Actually Lead Us Toward A Clean Energy Future Almost In Spite Of Government Policy.

From The Small Clubs Of The Harlem Renaissance Where He Began Playing Saxophone To World Tours For The Biggest Of The Big Bands, Benny Carter Redefined American Jazz. From The Start, His Fellow Musicians Said The Way He Played The Sax Was Amazing. They Say That About Me, Too. (laughter.) But I Don't Think They Mean It In Quite The Same Way.

Everybody Has A Gas-guzzling Car Because People Like Suvs. They Would Like Suvs If They Were Hybrid Vehicles That Had The Same Horsepower And Used Less Gasoline. Instead, What The Auto Manufacturers Are Doing Is Building Suvs That Are Hybrid Vehicles That Use The Same Amount Of Gasoline Because They Up The Horsepower. That's A Decision That They Make To Market Irresponsible Economic Behavior. The American People Like The Suvs, They Have Kids, They, They Need Them, They Get Around In Them, But We Have Options.

When Some Republican Governors Asked To Try New Ways To Put People On Welfare Back To Work, The Obama Administration Said They Would Only Do It If They Had A Credible Plan To Increase Employment By 20%.

I Want To Say To You Is That James Madison And Thomas Jefferson Did Not Intend To Drive A Stake In The Heart Of Religion And To Drive It Out Of Our Public Life.

I Know That The Precise Magnitude And Patterns Of Climate Change Cannot Be Fully Predicted. But Global Warming Clearly Is A Growing, Long-term Threat With Profound Consequences. And Make No Mistake About It, It Will Take Decades To Reverse.

Most Illegal Immigrants Are Not By Nature Lawbreakers. Most Are Looking For The Chance To Live In Dignity. Nevertheless We Must Continue To Discourage Illegal Immigration For It Undermines Control Of Our Borders...and Even More Punishes Hard-working People Who Play By The Rules And Who Wait For Their Turn To Come To The United States. Therefore We Must Enforce Our Laws, But We Will Do So With Justice And Fairness.
