Take The Life Issue. This Issue Requires A President And An Administration Leading Our Nation To Understand The Importance Of Life. This Whole Faith-based Initiative Really Ties Into A Larger Cultural Issue That We're Working On. It Begins To Affect The Life Issue, As Well As The Human Dignity Issue, Because When You're Talking About Welcoming People Of Faith To Help People Who Are Disadvantaged And Are Unable To Defend Themselves, The Logical Step Is Also Those Babies.

I've Thought A Lot About What It Means To Be The President. I Also Understand An Administration Is Not One Person But An Administration Is Dedicated Citizens Who Are Called By The President To Serve The Country, To Serve A Cause Greater Than Self.

Democrats In Washington Predicted That Tax Cuts Would Not Create Jobs, Would Not Increase Wages, And Would Cause The Federal Deficit To Explode. Well, The Facts Are In. The Tax Cuts Have Led To A Strong Economy. Real Wages Were On The Rise, And Deficit Has Been Cut In Half Three Years Ahead Of Schedule.

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.

And, Faith Can Change Lives; I Know First Hand, Because Faith Changed Mine.

So It Is The Policy Of The United States To Seek And Support The Growth Of Democratic Movements And Institutions In Every Nation And Culture, With The Ultimate Goal Of Ending Tyranny In Our World.

The United States Prefers That Iraq Meet Its Obligations Voluntarily, Yet We Are Prepared For The Alternative.

But The True Threats To Stability And Peace Are These Nations That Are Not Very Transparent, That Hide Behind The-that Don't Let People In To Take A Look And See What They're Up To. They're Very Kind Of Authoritarian Regimes. The True Threat Is Whether Or Not One Of These People Decide, Peak Of Anger, Try To Hold Us Hostage, Ourselves; The Israelis, For Example, To Whom We'll Defend, Offer Our Defenses; The South Koreans.

If Affirmative Action Means What I Just Described, What I'm For, Then I'm For It.

We Ought To Make The Pie Higher.

I Can Change, But As We Speak Now, I Really Have Zero Desire To See My Name In The Press.

The People Who Did This Act On America, And Who May Be Planning Further Acts, Are Evil People. They Don't Represent An Ideology, They Don't Represent A Legitimate Political Group Of People. They're Flat Evil. That's All They Can Think About, Is Evil. And As A Nation Of Good Folks, We're Going To Hunt Them Down, And We're Going To Find Them, And We Will Bring Them To Justice.

We're Not Going To Spend Taxpayers' Money On Abortion. This Is An Issue That Divides America. But Certainly Reasonable People Can Agree On How To Reduce Abortions In America.

You Can't Have A Democracy With An Armed Political Party Willing To Bomb Its Neighbor Without The Consent Of Its Government Or, You Know, Just Deciding, "well, Let's Create Enough Chaos And Discord By Lobbing Rockets. And So The Reality Is In Order For Lebanon To Succeed And We Want Lebanon's Democracy To Succeed The Process Is Going To The Lebanese Government's Eventually Going To Have To Deal With Hezbollah.

I Had To Abandon Free Market Principles In Order To Save The Free Market System.

The Woman Who Knew That I Had Dyslexia - I Never Interviewed Her.

Are The Peoples Of The Middle East Somehow Beyond The Reach Of Liberty? Are Millions Of Men And Women And Children Condemned By History Or Culture To Live In Despotism? Are They Alone Never To Know Freedom And Never Even To Have A Choice In The Matter?

Each Of Us Will Figure Out Our Own Way.

I Told You I'm Not Going To Criticize My Successor. I'll Just Tell You That There Are People At Gitmo That Will Kill American People At A Drop Of A Hat And I Don't Believe That Persuasion Isn't Going To Work. Therapy Isn't Going To Cause Terrorists To Change Their Mind.

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. Now Of Course, If You Didn't Believe In The Universality Of Freedom, Then Of Course, You Wouldn't Act. I Care How They Live And I Believe A Free Iraq Will Be Transformative.

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

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.

By Working Together To Advance Mutual Understanding, We Point The Way To A Brighter Future For All.

I Read The Newspaper.

By Heritage And By Choice, The United States Of America Will Make That Stand.

I Think It's Very Important For The American President To Mean What He Says. That's Why I Understand That The Enemy Could Misread What I Say. That's Why I Try To Be As Clearly As I Can.

These Demands Are Not Open To Negotiation Or Discussion.

One Principle Is The Universality Of Freedom. I'm A Freedom Lover.

If You're Asking Me As The President, Would I Understand Reality, I Do.

I Realize I Will Never Regain My Anonymity But I Can Certainly Give It A Try. And It's A Lot Of Fun To Give It A Try.

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.

I Believe That Marriage Has Served Society Well, And I Believe It Is Important To Affirm That, That Marriage Between A Man And A Woman Is The Ideal. And The Job Of The President Is To Drive Policy Toward The Ideal.

That's Really The Fundamental Question We Face Here In The Beginning Of This 21st Century Is Whether Or Not We Believe As A Nation And Others Believe It Is Possible To Defeat This Ideology.

A Lot Of Times In The Rhetoric, People Forget The Facts. And The Facts Are That Thousands Of Small Businesses-hispanically Owned Or Otherwise-pay Taxes At The Highest Marginal Rate.

It Should Make People Nervous When Non-transparent Regimes, That Have Announced That They've Got Nuclear Warheads, Fire Missiles. This Is Not The Way You Conduct Business In The World. This Is Not The Way That Peaceful Nations Conduct Their Affairs.

The Resolution Approved Today Presents The Iraqi Regime With A Test - A Final Test.

We've Been Able To Watch On Our Television Screens Sophisticated Weaponry Find A Building; And We've Seen Dramatic Reports From The Front Where Pulitzer Prize-to-be Winning Reporters Stood Up And Declared, The United States Is Attacked, And All That.

Wisdom And Strength, And My Family, Is What I'd Like For You To Pray For.

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.

The Easiest Time To Be Faithful Is During A Time Of Crisis. The Hardest Time For Faith Is When All Is Well.

I Know How Hard It Is For You To Put Food On Your Family.

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

That Road To V-e Day Was Hard And Long, And Traveled By Weary And Valiant Men. And History Will Always Record Where That Road Began. It Began Here, With The First Footprints On The Beaches Of Normandy.

I'm The Commander -- See, I Don't Need To Explain -- I Do Not Need To Explain Why I Say Things. That's The Interesting Thing About Being President.

Each Congressional Race Really Depends Upon The Candidates And How They Carry The Message.

This Was Not An Act Of Terrorism, But It Was An Act Of War.

War On Terrorism
