If We Have The Right Preventive And Primary Care, If We Start Charging For Comprehensive Care In The Chronic Cases, 10 Percent Of The Cases Take Up Two-thirds Of The Medical Expenses, And If We Do More On Problems Like Childhood Obesity, That We Can, To Use The Parlance That's Popular In Washington, Bend The Cost Curve And Eventually Reconcile This So Our Costs Will Be Closer To Our Competitors And So We Can Cover Everybody.

We Should Pass A Flex Time Law That Allows Employees To Take Their Overtime Pay In Money Or In Time Off, Depending On What's Better For Their Family.

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.

We Cannot Become The World's Policeman, But Where Our Values And Our Interests Are At Stake, And Where We Can Make A Difference, We Must Act And We Must Lead. That Is Our Job And We Are Better, Stronger And Safer Because We Are Doing It.

But If You Want A Country Of Shared Opportunities And Shared Responsibility, A We're-all-in-this-together Society, You Should Vote For Barack Obama And Joe Biden.

Our Generation, Like The One Before Us, Must Choose.

The Bush Administration Continues To Coddle China, Despite Its Continuing Crackdown On Democratic Reform, Its Brutal Subjugation Of Tibet, Its Irresponsible Export Of Nuclear And Missile Technology... Such Forbearance On Our Part Might Have Made Sense During The Cold War When China Was The Counterweight To Soviet Power. It Makes No Sense To Play The China Card Now When Our Opponents Have Thrown In Their Hand.

What We Should Be Doing [in Us] Is Accelerating Every Year Our Efforts To Reduce Our Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Have A Cleaner Energy Future, Have Much More Energy Conservation. And This Won't Hurt Anybody. This Will Create A New Economy For America, If We've Got The Discipline To Do It.

No Wonder Americans Hate Politics When, Year In And Year Out, They Hear Politicians Make Promises That Won't Come True Because They Don't Even Mean Them - Campaign Fantasies That Win Elections But Don't Get Nations Moving Again

If You Wanted To Create Jobs In A Way That Has Minimal Effect On The Deficit But Has Government Action, The Two Best Things You Could Do Are The Infrastructure Bank And A Simple Sba-like Loan Guarantee For All Building Retrofits, Where The Contractor Or The Energy-service Company Guarantees The Savings.

You Could Create A Million Jobs Doing That.

I've Been Talking About Income Inequality In America For Twenty Years, And When I Was President, People Didn't Pay Much Attention To It, Probably Because Wages Were Going Up. But I Don't Think I've Given A Single Solitary Speech Since I Left Office That I Hadn't Talked About It. It's A Problem Around The World And Within The United States. So These People Have Put That On The Agenda.

Now, People Ask Me All The Time How We Got Four Surplus Budgets In A Row. What New Ideas Did We Bring To Washington? I Always Give A One-word Answer: Arithmetic.

[illegal Immigration] Costs The Taxpayers Of The United States A Lot Of Money. And It's Unfair To Americans Who Are Working Every Day To Pay Their Own Bills. It's Also Unfair To A Lot Of People Who Have Waited In Line For Years And Years In Other Countries To Be Legal Immigrants.

A Few Months Ago, And Again This Week, Bin Laden Publicly Vowed To Publicly Wage A Terrorist War Against America, Saying, And I Quote, "we Do Not Differentiate Between Those Dressed In Military Uniforms And Civilians. They're All Targets." Their Mission Is Murder, And Their History Is Bloody.

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.

What We Need To Do Is To Have A Sensible Approach To Immigration. It Needs To Be Open. It Needs To Be Non-dogmatic And Non-bigoted. We Need To Be Firm But Reasonable In The Way We Deal With The Problem Of Illegal Immigration. And We Need To Try To Get As Many Of Our Immigrants Who Want To Do So To Become Citizens As Quickly As Possible So That The American People Will All See That This Is A Part Of The Process Of American History, Which Is A Good One For Our Country.

In General I Saw My Job As The First President Whose Full Term Would Be Served After The Cold War In A Global Information Society Where We Were Interdependent But Not Integrated. And Therefore, We Were Vulnerable To The Worst, And Able To Seize The Best, Of What's Going On In The World.

I Want To Nominate A Man Who's Cool On The Outside, But Who Burns For America On The Inside.

...nixon's Subversion [of The Consititution] Consisted Of: One Presidental Lie; One Invocation Of Presidental Privilege, And Zero Criminal Offences.

It's Important That The American People Understand That President Has Proposed And Passed This Stimulus Plan Not As The End-all And Be-all To Our Economic Woes But As Our Bridge Over Troubled Water Until We Get The Finance System, The Banking System Working Again.

Poverty, Discrimination, And Ignorance Restrict Growth.

You Know The One Thing That's Wrong With This Country? Everyone Gets A Chance To Have Their Fair Say.

I Tried Marijuana Once. I Did Not Inhale.

We All Do Better When We Work Together. Our Differences Do Matter, But Our Common Humanity Matters More.

Common Humanity

Working Together

My View Is There Will Be Problems And Bad People As Long As The Earth Exists, And Since We're Moving Into A Completely Interdependent Global Environment, We're Better Off Building A World We'd Like To Live In When The United States Are Not The Only Military Superpower. That Is, We Need To Build A World Of Shared Responsibility, Shared Benefits, And Shared Commitment To Our Common Humanity.

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%.

The Power Of Our Example Is More Important Than The Strength Of Our Military.

One Way Or The Other, We Are Determined To Deny Iraq The Capacity To Develop Weapons Of Mass Destruction And The Missiles To Deliver Them. That Is Our Bottom Line.

Mass Destruction

Frankly, I'm Fed Up With Politicians In Washington Lecturing The Rest Of Us About Family Values. Our Families Have Values. But Our Government Doesn't.

On The Glass-steagall Thing, Like I Said, If You Could Demonstrate To Me That It Was A Mistake, I'd Be Glad To Look At The Evidence. But I Can't Blame [the Republicans]. This Wasn't Something They Forced Me Into. I Really Believed That Given The Level Of Oversight Of Banks And Their Ability To Have More Patient Capital, If You Made It Possible For [banks] To Go Into The Investment Banking Business As Continental European Investment Banks Could Always Do, That It Might Give Us A More Stable Source Of Long-term Investment.

The Risk Is That As We Come Out Of This Recession, We'll Have So Much Debt To Finance, We'll Either Have To Have Inflation Or Very High Interest Rates To Continue To Borrow The Money, Or Both. That's A Risk.

What Happened To Us In September, 2001, Is A Microcosmic But Painful And Powerful Example Of The Fact We Live In An Inter-dependent World That Is Not Yet An Integrated Global Community.

I Believe That People Of My Income Group Should Pay More, And I Explained Why, But That Won't Necessarily Lift Overall Wage Levels.

Remember, Republican Economic Policies Quadrupled The Debt Before I Took Office And Doubled It After I Left. We Simply Can't Afford To Double-down On Trickle-down.

When Galileo Discovered He Could Use The Tools Of Mathematics And Mechanics To Understand The Motion Of Celestial Bodies, He Felt, In The Words Of One Imminent Researcher, That He Had Learned The Language In Which God Recreated The Universe. Today We Are Learning The Language In Which God Created Life. We Are Gaining Ever More Awe For The Complexity, The Beauty, The Wonder Of God's Most Devine And Sacred Gift.

The Kyoto Treaty Wasn't Perfect, But We Signed It, In Fact, Helped To Draft It. And I'm Very Proud Of It, It Was The World's First Commitment To Doing Something Comprehensive On Greenhouse Gases And Trying To Reduce Global Warming Before We Do Irreversible Damage To Many Civilizations Around The World.

The Most Ethical Administration In The History Of The Republic.

We Must Teach Our Children To Resolve Their Conflicts With Words, Not Weapons.

Work Is About More Than Making A Living, As Vital As That Is. It's Fundamental To Human Dignity, To Our Sense Of Self-worth As Useful, Independent, Free People.

This Is A Huge Problem. If We Don't Deal With This Within Just A Few Years, You Will Have Island Nations Flooded; You Will Have The Agricultural Balance Of Most Countries Completely Changed; You Will Have A Dramatic Increase In The Number Of Severe, Unmanageable Weather Events... And The Good News Is That We Can Now Deal With This Problem - And Strengthen Our Economic Growth, Not Weaken It.

The Real Differences Around The World Today Are Not Between Jews And Arabs; Protestants And Catholics; Muslims, Croats, And Serbs. The Real Differences Are Between Those Who Embrace Peace And Those Who Would Destroy It. Between Those Who Look To The Future And Those Who Cling To The Past. Between Those Who Open Their Arms And Those Who Are Determined To Clench Their Fists.

No Problem Of Human Making Is Too Great To Be Overcome By Human Ingenuity, Human Energy, And The Untiring Hope Of The Human Spirit.

All Americans, Not Only In The States Most Heavily Affected But In Every Place In This Country, Are Rightly Disturbed By The Large Numbers Of Illegal Aliens Entering Our Country. The Jobs They Hold Might Otherwise Be Held By Citizens Or Legal Immigrants. The Public Services They Use Impose Burdens On Our Taxpayers. That's Why Our Administration Has Moved Aggressively To Secure Our Borders More By Hiring A Record Number Of New Border Guards, By Deporting Twice As Many Criminal Aliens As Ever Before, By Cracking Down On Illegal Hiring, By Barring Welfare Benefits To Illegal Aliens.

I Want American Dream Growth - Lots Of New Businesses, Well-paying Jobs, And American Leadership In New Industries, Like Clean Energy And Biotechnology.

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.

I Think The Republicans And Conservatives Generally Were Alienated By America's Unsuccessful Effort In Vietnam, And A Lot Of Them, As Henry Kissinger Admitted The Other Day, Never Got Over President Nixon's Impeachment, And Didn't Think, Even Though There Was A Pattern Of Illegal Conduct There, Sanctioned By The White House And Proved By The Tapes And Other Documentary Evidence And Testimony, They Didn't Believe That The Impeachment Was Justified, And They Didn't Think He Should Have Resigned.

We Democrats Think The Country Works Better With A Strong Middle Class, Real Opportunities For Poor People To Work Their Way Into It And A Relentless Focus On The Future, With Business And Government Working Together To Promote Growth And Broadly Shared Prosperity.

I Think The Country Could Be Spared A Lot Of Agony And The Government Could Worry About Inflation And A Lot Of Other Problems If [nixon Would] Go On And Resign.

First, I Worry About Climate Change. It's The Only Thing That I Believe Has The Power To Fundamentally End The March Of Civilization As We Know It, And Make A Lot Of The Other Efforts That We're Making Irrelevant And Impossible.

Citizen Service Is The Very American Idea That We Meet Our Challenges Not As Isolated Individuals But As Members Of A True Community, With All Of Us Working Together. Our Mission Is Nothing Less Than To Spark A Renewed Sense Of Obligation, A New Sense Of Duty, A New Season Of Service.

New Information And Communications Technologies Can Improve The Quality Of Life For People With Disabilities, But Only If Such Technologies Are Designed From The Beginning So That Everyone Can Use Them.

An Enormous Amount Of Infections Are Being Perpetrated By People Who Don't Know They Themselves Are Hiv Positive.

I Support Lowering The Level Of Legal Immigration By A Moderate Amount At This Time. Legal Immigration Reform Must Be Based Upon Principles That Are Pro-family, Pro-work, And Pro-naturalization, Retaining Opportunities For Family Reunification As The Levels Are Lowered. We Must Not Let This Issue Become Divisive In This Country.

As We Have Throughout This Century, We Will Lead With The Power Of Our Example, But Be Prepared, When Necessary, To Make An Example Of Our Power.

Just Because We Cannot Do Everything For Everyone Does Not Mean We Should Do Nothing For Anyone.

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.

That's The Difference Between My Meeting And Any Other. If You Don't Want To Promise To Do Something, Don't Come To My Meeting, Stay Home.

Our Immigration Policy Is Focussed In Four Areas: First, Strengthening Border Control; Second, Protecting American Jobs By Enforcing Laws Against Illegal Immigrants At The Workplace; Third, Deporting Criminal And Deportable Aliens; Fourth, Giving Assistance To States Who Need It, And Denying Illegal Aliens Benefits For Public Services Or Welfare.

We Are Moving In The Right Direction To The 21st Century.

Banning Human Cloning Reflects Our Humanity. It Is The Right Thing To Do. Creating A Child Through This New Method Calls Into Question Our Most Fundamental Beliefs.

Globalisation Is Not Something That We Can Hold Off Or Turn Off. It Is The Economic Equivalent Of A Force Of Nature, Like Wind Or Water.

More Than Any Other Nation On Earth, America Has Constantly Drawn Strength And Spirit From Wave After Wave Of Immigrants.
