I Think, Not Only Al Qaida Have An Ideology; They Have Tactics Necessary To Spread Their Ideology. And It Would Be A Huge Mistake For The United States To Leave The Region, To Concede Territory To The Terrorists, To Not Confront Them.

I Understand Politics And I Know There's Gonna Be A Lot Of Verbage.

History Will Prove Me Right. This Is An Exercise In Folly.

Look, History Is Interesting. I Read Three Books On George Washington Last Year.

They've Been Reading The Wrong Textbook. You Don't Raise Somebody's Taxes In The Middle Of A Recession. You Trust People With Their Own Money. And, By The Way, That Money Isn't The Government's Money; It's The People's Money.

Religion Is A Personal, Private Matter And Parents, Not Public School Officials, Should Decide Their Children's Religious Training. We Should Not Have Teacher-led Prayers In Public Schools, And School Officials Should Never Favor One Religion Over Another, Or Favor Religion Over No Religion (or Vice Versa).

The Free Exercise Of Faith Is The Fundamental Right Of Every American, And That Right Doesn't Stop At The Schoolhouse Door.

The Iraqis Needed To Know That We Weren't Going To Leave Them Alone. No Matter How Difficult It Was, The United States Would Help Them Realize The Universal Desire To Be Free.

It Has Come To My Attention, That Air Pollution Is Polluting The Air!

Iran Aggressively Pursues These Weapons And Exports Terror, While An Unelected Few Repress The Iranian People's Hope For Freedom.

I Am Sustained By The Prayers Of The People In This Country.

Some Say That By Fighting The Terrorists Abroad Since September The 11th, We Only Stir Up A Hornets' Nest. But The Terrorists Who Struck That Day Were Stirred Up Already. If America Were Not Fighting Terrorists In Iraq And Afghanistan And Elsewhere, What Would These Thousands Of Killers Do - Suddenly Begin Leading Productive Lives Of Service And Charity? ... We Are Dealing Here With Killers Who Have Made The Death Of Americans The Calling Of Their Lives.

Productive Life

I Saw A Threat In Saddam Hussein. Members Of The United States Congress From Both Political Parties Saw That Same Threat. The United Nation's Saw The Threat. I Made The Right Decision In Getting Saddam Hussein Out Of Power.

What We Republicans Should Stand For Is Growth In The Economy. We Ought To Make The Pie Higher.

Scripture Says: "blessed Are Those Who Mourn For They Shall Be Comforted." I Call On Every American Family And The Family Of America To Observe A National Day Of Prayer And Remembrance, Honoring The Memory Of The Thousands Of Victims Of These Brutal Attacks And Comforting Those Who Lost Loved Ones. We Will Persevere Through This National Tragedy And Personal Loss. In Time, We Will Find Healing And Recovery; And, In The Face Of All This Evil, We Remain Strong And United, "one Nation Under God."

In Iraq We Are Fighting Against Men With Blind Hatred And Armed With Lethal Weapons Who Are Capable Of Any Atrocity. They Wear No Uniform; They Respect No Laws Of Warfare Or Morality. They Take Innocent Lives To Create Chaos For The Cameras.

So I Don't Worry About, And People Shouldn't Worry About A Draft I Think We're In Good Shape, I Really Do. And, If Not, We'll - I'll Address The Nation. But I Don't See Any Need To Right Now.

Science Is Important, But So Is Ethics, So Is Balancing Life. To Destroy Life To Save Life - It's One Of The Real Ethical Dilemmas That We Face.

The Oval Office Is A Place Where There's Been, Obviously, A Lot Of Amazing Experiences Over A Seven-and-a-half Year Period. My Presidency Is One Where I've Had To Make Some Very Tough Decisions.

Congratulations

We'll Let Our Friends Be The Peacekeepers And The Great Country Called America Will Be The Pacemakers.

First Of All, You Never Retire. At Least I Don't Retire.

The Terrorists Are Traitors To Their Own Faith, Trying, In Effect, To Hijack Islam Itself. The Enemy Of America Is Not Our Many Muslim Friends; It Is Not Our Many Arab Friends. Our Enemy Is A Radical Network Of Terrorists, And Every Government That Supports Them.

About 14 Percent Of Our Nation's Civilian Workforce Is Foreign-born.

Deeply Impressed With The Blessing Which We Enjoy, And Of Which We Have Much Manifold Proofs, My Mind Is Irresistibly Drawn To That Almighty Being, The Great Source Source From Whence They Proceed And Whom Our Most Grateful Acknowledgements Are Due.

Ronald Reagan Was A Great Role Model For Respublicans Party, And I Think For Most People. But He Was A Fellow That The American Public Just Intuitively Loved So Much, That He Could Always Get Credit.

Our Enemies Have Made The Mistake That America's Enemies Always Make. They Saw Liberty And Thought They Saw Weakness. And Now, They See Defeat.

States Like These [iran, Iraq, North Korae], And Their Terrorist Allies, Constitute An Axis Of Evil, Arming To Threaten The Peace Of The World. By Seeking Weapons Of Mass Destruction, These Regimes Pose A Grave And Growing Danger. They Could Provide These Arms To Terrorists, Giving Them The Means To Match Their Hatred. They Could Attack Our Allies Or Attempt To Blackmail The United States. In Any Of These Cases, The Price Of Indifference Would Be Catastrophic.

Mass Destruction

Saddam Hussein Is A Homicidal Dictator Who Is Addicted To Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

Mass Destruction

I Want To Help People Help Themselves, Not Have Government Tell People What To Do. I Just Don't Think It's The Role Of The United States To Walk Into A Country And Say, We Do It This Way, So Should You.

I Can't Wait To Join You In The Joy Of Welcoming Neighbors Back Into Neighborhoods, And Small Businesses Up And Running, And Cutting Those Ribbons That Somebody Is Creating New Jobs.

The Threat From Iran Is, Of Course, Their Stated Objective To Destroy Our Strong Ally Israel. That's A Threat, A Serious Threat. It's A Threat To World Peace; It's A Threat, In Essence, To A Strong Alliance. I Made It Clear, I'll Make It Clear Again, That We Will Use Military Might To Protect Our Ally, Israel.

The Thing That's Important For Me Is To Remember What's The Most Important Thing.

Important Things

Compassionate Conservative Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations.

I Inherited Half My Father's Friends And All His Enemies

Democrats Didn't Agree With Policies. How Do I Know? Because They Voted Against Them When They Came Up On The Floor Of The House And The Senate.

They Want The Federal Government Controlling The Social Security, Like It's Some Kind Of Federal Program.

[the Economic Crisis ] Gave People The Option To Put Money Into Private Accounts.

The Decisions I Made Are Done. And History Will Judge Whether Or Not They Were Correct. There's No Such Thing As Accurate Short-term History.

It Says Something About Our Country That People Around The World Are Willing To Leave Their Homes And Leave Their Families And Risk Everything To Come To America. Their Talent And Hard Work And Love Of Freedom Have Helped Make America The Leader Of The World. And Our Generation Will Ensure That America Remains A Beacon Of Liberty And The Most Hope Fill Society This World Has Ever Known.

Laura And I Really Don't Realize How Bright Our Children Is Sometimes Until We Get An Objective Analysis.

But As Importantly, It Lies In The Fact That We've Got Citizens From All Walks Of Life, All Political Parties, That Are Willing To Say, I Want To Love My Neighbor. I Want To Make Somebody's Life Just A Little Bit Better.

One Reason I Like To Highlight Reading Is, Reading Is The Beginnings Of The Ability To Be A Good Student. And If You Can't Read, It's Going To Be Hard To Realize Dreams, It's Going To Be Hard To Go To College. So When Your Teachers Say, Read - You Ought To Listen To Her.

I Would Have To Ask The Questioner. I Haven't Had A Chance To Ask The Questioners The Question They've Been Questioning. On The Other Hand, I Firmly Believe She'll Be A Fine Secretary Of Labor. And I've Got Confidence In Linda Chavez. She Is A - She'll Bring An Interesting Perspective To The Labor Department.

Today The Iraqi And Afghan People Are On The Path To Democracy And Freedom. The Governments That Are Rising Will Pose No Threat To Others. Instead Of Harboring Terrorists, They're Fighting Terrorist Groups. And This Progress Is Good For The Long-term Security Of All Of Us.

It's Essential That We Do What's Right - Not Necessarily What Appears To Be Immediately Popular.

Senator Kerry Has Been In Washington Long Enough To Take Both Sides On Just About Every Issue.

The Agenda Of The Roadblock Is The Philosophy Of The Stop Sign.

I Am A Person Who Looks Long-term, And I Recognize The Path We Need To Take. There Will Be Moments When People Are Unhappy And Disgruntled With Some Decision-making. Nonetheless, What Matters Most Is To Reach The Destination. And My Job As President Is To See Clearly Where I Want To Go And Be Steadfast In My Resolve To Realize That Vision
