I'm Uncomfortable Trying To Rush Change Of Perception, Except To The Extent That I'm Going To Write A Book.

Our Nation Must Come Together To Unite.

There Are Limits To The Smiles And Scowls Of Diplomacy. Armies And Missiles Are Not Stopped By Stiff Notes Of Condemnation. They Are Held In Check By Strength And Purpose And The Promise Of Swift Punishment.

So Community Colleges Are Accessible, They're Available, They're Affordable, And Their Curriculums Don't Get Stuck. In Other Words, If There's A Need For A Certain Kind Of Worker, I Presume Your Curriculums Evolved Over Time.

My Mother Always Said, 'when You're Eating Pretzels, Chew Before You Swallow'. Always Listen To Your Mother.

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.

We Passed Law That Encouraged Consumption Through Different Purchasing Habits Like, You Know, Hybrid Vehicles. You Buy Hybrid, You Get A Tax Credit. We've Encouraged The Spread Of Ethanol As An Alternative To Crude Oil. We Have Asked For Congress To Pass Regulatory Relief So We Can Build More Refineries To Increase The Supply Of Gasoline, Hopefully Taking The Pressure Off Of Price. And So The Strategy Is To Recognize That Dependency Upon Crude Oil, In A Global Market, Affects Us Economically Here At Home. And, Therefore, We Need To Diversify Away As Quickly As Possible.

We Will Allow Private And Religious Groups To Compete To Provide Services In Every Federal, State And Local Social Program.

One Of The Very Difficult Parts Of The Decision I Made On The Financial Crisis Was To Use Hardworking People's Money To Help Prevent There To Be A Crisis.

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.

Wars Are Fought On Objectives, Not On Timetable, And That's Why I've Been So Insistent Upon Not Allowing Ourselves To Have Policy Driven By Time Table, But By Objective.

I Knew It Might Put Him In An Awkward Position That We Had A Discussion Before Finality Has Finally Happened In This Presidential Race.

If Our Commanders On The Ground Say We Need More Troops, I Will Send Them. But Our Commanders Tell Me They Have The Number Of Troops They Need To Do Their Job.

In The Battle Of Iraq, The United States And Our Allies Have Prevailed.

Ages Of Experience Have Taught Us That The Commitment Of A Husband And A Wife To Love And To Serve One Another Promotes The Welfare Of Children And The Stability Of Society.

It's Going To Be The Year Of The Sharp Elbow And The Quick Tongue.

I Think We're Making Progress. We Understand Where The Power Of This Country Lay. It Lies In The Hearts And Souls Of Americans. It Must Lay In Our Pocketbooks. It Lies In The Willingness For People To Work Hard.

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.

It Turns Out He Didn't, But He Had The Capacity To Make Weapons Of Mass Destruction.

Either Well Succeed, Or We Wont Succeed. And The Definition Of Success As I Described Is Sectarian Violence Down. Success Is Not No Violence.

It Appears To Be A Re-run Of A Bad Movie. [iraqi President Saddam Hussein] Is Delaying. He's Deceiving. He's Asking For Time. He's Playing Hide-and-seek With Inspectors. One Thing Is For Certain - He's Not Disarming.

ariel Sharon Is A Man Of Courage And A Man Of Peace.

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.

Through Centuries Of Struggle, Jews Across The World Have Been Witnesses Not Only Against The Crimes Of Men, But For Faith In God And God Alone.

That Story Continues In The Defense Of The State Of Israel.

You've Just Got To Do What You Think Is Right, And Just Make The Decisions Based Upon Noble Causes. And A Noble Cause Is Peace And Security And Freedom.

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.

They Misunderestimated Me.

I Think It's Important To Promote A Culture Of Life. I Think A Hospitable Society Is A Society Where Every Being Counts And Every Person Matters.

But I Believe Reasonable People Can Come Together And Put Good Law In Place That Will Help Reduce The Number Of Abortions.

We Got A Leader In Iran Who Has Announced That He Wants To Destroy Israel. So I've Told People That If You're Interested In Avoiding World War Iii, It Seems Like You Ought To Be Interested In Preventing Them From Have The Knowledge Necessary To Make A Nuclear Weapon.

Islam Brings Hope And Comfort To Millions Of People In My Country, And To More Than A Billion People Worldwide. Ramadan Is Also An Occasion To Remember That Islam Gave Birth To A Rich Civilization Of Learning That Has Benefited Mankind.

I Believe It Is In The National Interest That Government Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith Who Work To Change Lives For The Better. I Understand In The Past, Some In Government Have Said Government Cannot Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith. Let Me Put It More Bluntly, Government Can't Spend Money On Religious Programs Simply Because There's A Rabbi On The Board, Cross On The Wall, Or A Crescent On The Door. I Viewed This As Not Only Bad Social Policy - Because Policy By-passed The Great Works Of Compassion And Healing That Take Place - I Viewed It As Discrimination.

I Wouldn't Pick A Judge Who Said That The Pledge Of Allegiance Couldn't Be Said In A School Because It Had The Words 'under God'' In It.

I Want To Make It Clear To People That The Idea Of Putting Subliminable Messages Into Ads Is Ridiculous.

It Is White. - When Asked What The White House Was Like By A Student In East London

Well, That's Going To Be Up To The Pundits And The People To Make Up Their Mind. I'll Tell You What Is A President For Him, For Example, Talking About My Record In The State Of Texas. I Mean, He's Willing To Say Anything In Order To Convince People That I Haven't Had A Good Record In Texas.

Right Now, Iraq Is Expanding And Improving Facilities That Were Used For The Production Of Biological Weapons.

Mass Destruction

People Are Innocent Till Proven Otherwise. All People Are.

And We Will Pursue Nations That Provide Aid Or Safe Haven To Terrorism. Every Nation In Every Region Now Has A Decision To Make: Either You Are With Us Or You Are With The Terrorists. From This Day Forward, Any Nation That Continues To Harbor Or Support Terrorism Will Be Regarded By The United States As A Hostile Regime.

I View The Relationship With Canada As A Vital Relationship For The United States. The Relationship, Of Course, Is Defined Government-to-government. It's Also Defined People-to-people, And There's A Lot Of People In My Country Who Respect Canada And Have Great Relations With Canadians, And We Intend To Keep It That Way.

We Go Forward With Complete Confidence In The Eventual Triumph Of Freedom. Not Because History Runs On The Wheels Of Inevitability; It Is Human Choices That Move Events. Not Because We Consider Ourselves A Chosen Nation; God Moves And Chooses As He Wills.

I've Been In The Bible Every Day Since I've Been The President.

I Can Hear You, The Rest Of The World Can Hear You And The People Who Knocked These Buildings Down Will Hear All Of Us Soon.

My Fellow Citizens, The Dangers To Our Country And The World Will Be Overcome. We Will Pass Through This Time Of Peril And Carry On The Work Of Peace. We Will Defend Our Freedom. We Will Bring Freedom To Others And We Will Prevail.

There Are A Lot Of Tactical Decisions That, If I Could Have Done Them Over, I Would Have.

Well, I Think If You Say You're Going To Do Something And Don't Do It, That's Trustworthiness.

The Press In America Has Never Been Stronger And Never Been Freer And Never Been More Vibrant, Sometimes To My Chagrin, And A Lot Of Times To My Delight.

The War On Terror Involves Saddam Hussein Because Of The Nature Of Saddam Hussein, The History Of Saddam Hussein, And His Willingness To Terrorize Himself.

When Our Children And Grandchildren Look Back On This Period, One Question Will Overwhelm All The Rest: Did We Do Everything In Our Power To Fight And To Win The War On Terror? That's The Fundamental Question This Generation Faces.

Americans Have Always Held Firm, Because We Have Always Believed In Certain Truths. We Know That If Evil Is Not Confronted, It Gains In Strength And Audacity And Returns To Strike Us Again. We Know That When The Work Is Hard, The Proper Response Is Not Retreat, It Is Courage. And We Know That A Great Ideal Of Human Freedom Entrusted To Us In A Special Way And That The Ideal Of Liberty Is Worth Defending.

So, I'm Lying On The Couch And Laura Walks In And I Say, 'free At Last,' And She Says 'you're Free All Right, You're Free To Do The Dishes.' So I Say, 'you're Talking To The Former President, Baby,' And She Said, 'consider This Your New Domestic Policy Agenda.'

Obviously I Pray Every Day There's Less Casualty.

In My Sentences I Go Where No Man Has Gone Before.

Secondly, There Are Such Things As Roving Wiretaps. Now, By The Way, Any Time You Hear The United States Government Talking About Wiretap, It Requires - A Wiretap Requires A Court Order. [...] Nothing Has Changed, By The Way. When We're Talking About Chasing Down Terrorists, We're Talking About Getting A Court Order Before We Do So. [...]

I Don't Want Some Mom Whose Son May Have Recently Died To See The Commander In Chief Playing Golf.

Whatever Party You're In In America, Our Troops Deserve The Full Support Of Our Government.

We Really Don't Need The United Nations Approval To Act. When It Comes To Our Security, We Do Not Need Anyones Permission.

We Must Show New Energy In Fighting Back An Old Evil. Nearly Two Centuries After The Abolition Of The Transatlantic Slave Trade, And More Than A Century After Slavery Was Officially Ended In Its Last Strongholds, The Trade In Human Beings For Any Purpose Must Not Be Allowed To Thrive In Our Time.

I Can Only Give My Life In A Way That Makes Me Comfortable.

Eight Years Was Awesome And I Was Famous And I Was Powerful.

We'll Succeed Unless We Quit.

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.

I Think A Lot Of The National Democrats Believe That, You Know, Iraq Is A Distraction And Not Part Of The War On Terror. They've Said So. And I Strongly Disagree.

Immigrants Bring To America The Values Of Faith In God, Love Of Family, Hard Work And Self Reliance - The Values That Made Us A Great Nation To Begin With.

I Understand I'm Running Against A Person Who Is So Anxious To Become President, He Will Do Whatever It Takes.

I'm Also Combining My Love Of Outdoors With My Desire To Help Others.

Some People Are Going To Like The Decisions I Made, Some People Are Not Going To Like The Decisions That I Made. That's Just The Way It Is.

Look, When You're The President, There's All Kinds Of Things Said About Us. I Mean, It's Just The Nature Of The Job.

I Expect You To Work Hard On Our Agenda.

In Recent Weeks We Learned That Scientists Have Created Human Embryos In Test Tubes Solely To Experiment On Them. This Is Deeply Troubling, And A Warning Sign That Should Prompt All Of Us To Think Through These Issues Very Carefully.

Catholic Schools Carry Out A Great Mission, To Serve God By Building Knowledge And Character... By Teaching The Word Of God, You Prepare Your Students To Follow A Path Of Virtue.

I Have A Different Vision Of Leadership. A Leadership Is Someone Who Brings People Together.

We Hope That Diplomacy Works Before You Ever Use Force. The Hardest Decision A President Makes Is Ever To Use Force.

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."

There Are Jobs Americans Arent Doing. ... If Youve Got A Chicken Factory, A Chicken-plucking Factory, Or Whatever You Call Them, You Know What Im Talking About.
