Through Adoption, Americans Can Forever Change Not Only A Child's Life But Also Their Own.

I've Been In Politics Long Enough To Know That Polls Just Go Poof At Times.

I Talked About The Human Suffering In Iraq. And I Also Saw The Need To Advance A Freedom Agenda. Imagine A World In Which Saddam Hussein Was There, Stirring Up Even More Trouble In A Part Of The World That Had So Much Resentment And So Much Hatred That People Came And Killed 3,000 Of Our Citizens. I've Heard This Theory About Everything Was Just Fine Until We Arrived And The Stir-up-the-hornet's- Nest Theory. It Just Doesn't Hold Water, As Far As I'm Concerned. The Terrorists Attacked Us And Killed 3,000 Of Our Citizens Before We Started The Freedom Agenda In The Middle East.

It Has Sustained Me In Moments Of Success And In Moments Of Disappointment. Without It, I'd Be A Different Person. And Without It, I Doubt I'd Be Here Today.

We Have A Duty To Our Country To Participate In The Political Process. See, If You Believe In Freedom, You Have A Duty To Exercise Your Right To Vote To Begin With.

The United States And Israel Have Enjoyed A Friendship Built On Mutual Respect And Commitment To Democratic Principles. Our Continuing Search For Peace In The Middle East Begins With A Recognition That The Ties Uniting Our Two Countries Can Never Be Broken.

I Was Also Fortunate That I Was Raised In A Part Of The World, West Texas, Where Individualism Is Strong.

I Have Faith, As I Did When I Announced My Stem-cell Decision In 2001, That Science And Ethics Can Coexist.

It's Important For The Writers Of The Presidential Daily Brief To Feel Comfortable That The Documents Will Never Be Politicized And/or Unnecessarily Exposed For Public Purview.

I'm Not A Textbook Player. I'm A Gut Player.

I Believe That We Will Succeed In Iraq, Because, One, The Iraqis Want To Live In A Free Society. And, Two, That The Iraqis Want To Take The Fight To The Enemy. And People Want Me To Put A Timetable On Things; That's A Huge Mistake. Putting A Timetable On This - On Our Stay There In Iraq Simply Emboldens The Enemy And Discourages Our Friends.

[t]he People Of Iraq Have Spoken To The World, And The World Is Hearing The Voice Of Freedom From The Center Of The Middle East.

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.

The World Must Understand That It Is The Time To Come Together To Address The Root Cause Of The Problem, And The Problem Is You Have A State Within A State. You Had People Launch Attacks On A Sovereign Nation Without The Consent Of The Government In The Country In Which They Are Lodged.

We've Seen Their Kind Before. The Terrorists Are The Heirs To Fascism. They Have The Same Wield Of Power, The Same Disdain For The Individual, The Same Mad Global Ambitions. And They Will Be Dealt With In Just The Same Way. Like All Fascists, The Terrorists Can Not Be Appeased. They Must Be Defeated. This Struggle Will Not End In A Truce Or A Treaty. It Will End In Victory For The United States, Our Friends And For The Cause Of Freedom.

Civil Society People - These Are The People - Civil Society Groups Are The People Who Need To Monitor The Aid To Ensure That The Aid Is Directed To What It Is Supposed To. And In Order For Them To Do So, They Need To Have The Space, They Need To Have The Freedom, And They Need To Have The Right To Demonstrate, And To Petition Their Government. They Can't Do That In Ethiopia; They Can't Do That In Eritrea; And So This Is Why I Was Cautioning That We May Be Repeating Some Of Our Old Mistakes.

This Notion That The United States Is Getting Ready To Attack Iran Is Simply Ridiculous. And Having Said That, All Options Are On The Table

I'll Be Long Gone Before Some Smart Person Ever Figures Out What Happened Inside This Oval Office.

I'm Telling America We Need To Not Discriminate Against Faith-based Programs. We Need To Welcome Them So Our Society Is More Wholesome, More Welcoming, And More Hopeful For Every Single Citizen.

There Is A Long History Of Friendship Between The American People And The People Of Iran. As Iran's People Move Towards A Future Defined By Greater Freedom, Greater Tolerance, They Will Have No Better Friend Than The United States Of America.

For Too Long, Many Nations, Including My Own, Tolerated, Even Excused, Oppression In The Middle East In The Name Of Stability. Oppression Became Common, But Stability Never Arrived.

For Most Of The World, There's No Greater Symbol Of America Than The Statue Of Liberty. It Has Been An Inspiration To Generations Of Immigrants. One Of These Immigrants Was A Poet-writer Named Ameen Rihani. Gazing At Her Lamp Held High, He Wondered Whether Her Sister Might Be Erected In The Lands Of His Arab Forefathers. Here Is How He Put It: "when Will You Turn Your Face Toward The East, Oh Liberty?"

Since September 11th, Federal Terrorism Investigations Have Resulted In Charges Against More Than 400 Suspects, And More Than Half Those Charged Have Been Convicted. Federal, State, And Local Law Enforcement Have Used The Patriot Act To Break Up Terror Cells In New York And Oregon And Virginia And In Florida. We've Prosecuted Terrorist Operatives And Supporters. These Efforts Have Not Always Made The Headlines But They've Made Communities Safer. The Patriot Act Has Accomplished Exactly What It Was Designed To Do.

I Don't Want Nations Feeling Like That They Can Bully Ourselves And Our Allies. I Want To Have A Ballistic Defense System So That We Can Make The World More Peaceful, And At The Same Time I Want To Reduce Our Own Nuclear Capacities To The Level Commiserate With Keeping The Peace.

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). I Also Believe That Schools Should Not Restrict Students' Religious Liberties. The Free Exercise Of Faith Is The Fundamental Right Of Every American, And That Right Doesn't Stop At The Schoolhouse Door.

We Know That Oppressive Governments Support Terror, While Free Governments Fight The Terrorists In Their Midst. We Know That Free Peoples Embrace Progress And Life, Instead Of Becoming The Recruits For Murderous Ideologies.
