It's The Only Place In The World Where The Last Six Elections Have Been Won By The More Progressive Candidate, Two For President, Two For The Mayors, Two For The Parliament.

I Saw My Job [as President] As To Try To Move The World From An Unstable Condition Of Interdependence Toward More Integrated Cooperative World Community.

I Did Attempt To Find Out If There Were Any Secret Government Documents That Revealed Things. If There Were, They Were Concealed From Me Too.

Let Us Rededicate Ourselves To The Principle That All Americans Have The Tools To Make The Most Of Their God-given Potential.

I'm Sure I Spent More Time In Texas Than Anybody Else Who Had Run For President Recently.

I Fully Share The Congress's Objective Of Promoting Nonproliferation And Combating Iran's Efforts To Acquire Weapons Of Mass Destruction (wmd) And Missile Delivery Systems. This Issue Remains At The Top Of The Agenda With Russia As Well As With Other Countries Whose Companies May Be Providing Such Assistance To Iran.

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.

Because If We Permit The Climate To Continue To Warm At An Unsustainable Rate, And If We Keep On Doing What We're Doing Until We're Out Of Oil And We Haven't Made The Transition, Then It's Inconceivable To Me That Our Children And Grandchildren Will Be Able To Maintain The American Way Of Life And That The World Won't Be Much Fuller Of Resource-based Wars Of All Kinds.

One Of The Things That I Realized When I Left Office Was That In The 1990's Citizens Across The World Applied More Power Than They Had Ever Had, As Compared With The Government, Because Of More People Living Under Democracies Than Dictatorships For The First Time, The Power Of The Internet, Which The Young Chinese Used To Basically Change China's Policy On The Sars Epidemic, And Shut It Down, And Because Of The Rise In Non-governmental Organizations Like My Foundation.

Nevertheless We Must Continue To Discourage Illegal Immigration For It Undermines Control Of Our Borders...and Even More Punishes Hard-working People Who Play By The Rules And Who Wait For Their Turn To Come To The United States. Therefore We Must Enforce Our Laws, But We Will Do So With Justice And Fairness.

And I Just Hate It.

I Want To Build A Bridge To The 21st Century In Which We Create A Strong And Growing Economy To Preserve The Legacy Of Opportunity For The Next Generation By Balancing Our Budget In A Way That Protects Our Values And Ensuring That Every Family Will Be Able To Own And Protect The Value Of Their Most Important Asset, Their Home.

You Know What Higher Interest Rates Mean. To You It Means A Higher Mortgage Payment, A Higher Car Payment, A Higher Credit Card Payment. To Our Economy, It Means Business People Will Not Borrow As Much Money, Invest As Much Money, Create As Many New Jobs, Create As Much Wealth, Raise As Many Raises.

North Koreans Are Irrational To Some Extent, But I Don't Think They're Totally Irrational. I Think They Watch American Cable Channels. I Think They Watch The European Cable Channels. I Think They, Their Decision Makers Keep Up More Than We Know. And I Think They Want Us To Think They're A Little Crazy.

Palestinians Are A Hard-working And An Incredible Community. They Have Done Remarkably Well Outside Their Country. I Have Never Met A Poor Palestinian In The United States; Every Palestinian I Know Is A College Professor Or A Doctor.

We Are A Nation Of Immigrants. But We Are Also A Nation Of Laws. It Is Wrong And Ultimately Self-defeating For A Nation Of Immigrants To Permit The Kind Of Abuse Of Our Immigration Laws We Have Seen In Recent Years, And We Must Do More To Stop It.

Strength And Wisdom Are Not Opposing Values.

Effort, Not Ability, Makes The Biggest Difference In Achievement.

Islam Is One Of The Fastest-growing Faiths Within America, And America Needs To Show That We're Not Anti-islam. We Are For, For People Being Free And Having Opportunity Everywhere, That... We Did That In Bosnia, We Did That In Kosovo, We Did That In Numerous Other Places In The World.

We Must Say No To Illegal Immigration So We Can Continue To Say Yes To Legal Immigration.

Illegal Immigration

We Should Make It A Crime Even To Attempt To Pollute. Our Children Should Grow Up Next To Parks, Not Poison.

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.

When, President Bush Asks Me To Go With His Father To The Tsunami Impacted Areas And Help Raise Money, I Was Thrilled To Do That, Because I Think We Have To Always Keep Looking For Common Ground.

This Is One Way That Wealthy Americans Could Really Contribute. They Could Put Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Into The Infrastructure Bank, Be A Good Investment For Them, For Their Children, For Their Grandchildren, And They Would Directly Contribute To Revitalizing A Big Sector Of Middle-class Wages In America And Making Our Country More Productive, So That We Could Create More Opportunity. But I Think That We Could Get A Lot Of Grassroots Support From, Like, Local Chambers Of Commerce And Other Things If They Understood Exactly How This Infrastructure Bank Would Work.

People Ought To Be Going Over This, Finding Things They Don't Like. Congress Has Clearly Proved They Can Act In A Hurry. If There's Something Wrong With It, It Can Be Amended. If Something Needs To Be Kicked In, It Can Be Put In. If Something Needs To Be Taken Out, It Can Be Taken Out.

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

Common Humanity

Working Together

I Made A Big Mistake. It Is Indefensible And I Am Sorry.

The New Century Demands New Partnerships For Peace And Security. The United Nations Plays A Crucial Role, With Allies Sharing Burdens America Might Otherwise Bear Alone. America Needs A Strong And Effective U.n. I Want To Work With This New Congress To Pay Our Dues And Our Debts. We Must Continue To Support Security And Stability In Europe And Asia - Expanding Nato And Defining Its New Missions, Maintaining Our Alliance With Japan, With Korea, With Our Other Asian Allies, And Engaging China.

We Still Have Too Many Americans Who Give In To Their Fears Of Those Who Are Different From Them. Not So Long Ago, Swastikas Were Painted On The Doors Of Some African-american Members Of Our Special Forces At Ft. Bragg. They Are Special Forces. They Do Not Deserve To Have Swastikas On Their Doors.

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.

The Last Time I Checked, The Constitution Said, 'of The People, By The People And For The People.' That's What The Declaration Of Independence Says.

There Are Times When Only America Can Make The Difference Between War And Peace, Between Freedom And Repression, Between Life Death. We Cannot Save All The World's Children But We Can Save Many Of Them.
