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.

But It's An Indication About The Desire For People To Live In A Free Society. That's What That Means. The Only Way To Defeat Al Qaida Ideology In The Long Term Is To Defeat It Through Another Ideology, A Competing Ideology, One That - Where Government Responds To The Will Of The People.

There's This Kind Of Almost - Kind Of A Weird Kind Of Elitism That Says Well Maybe - Maybe Certain People In Certain Parts Of The World Shouldn't Be Free; Maybe It's Best Just To Let Them Sit In These Tyrannical Societies.

I Came To This Office To Solve Problems, And Not Pass Them On To Future Presidents And Future Generations.

According To Muslim Teachings, God First Revealed His Word In The Holy Qur'an To The Prophet, Muhammad, During The Month Of Ramadan. That Word Has Guided Billions Of Believers Across The Centuries, And Those Believers Built A Culture Of Learning And Literature And Science. All The World Continues To Benefit From This Faith And Its Achievements.

Afghanistan Is The Most Daring And Ambition Mission In The History Of Nato.

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.

Activist Judges And Local Officials In Some Parts Of The Country Are Not Letting Up In Their Efforts To Redefine Marriage For The Rest Of America-and Neither Should Defenders Of Traditional Marriage Flag In Their Efforts.

They Have Miscalculated Me As A Leader.

We Will Stand Up For Our Friends In The World. And One Of The Most Important Friends Is The State Of Israel. My Administration Will Be Steadfast In Support Israel Against Terrorism And Violence, And In Seeking The Peace For Which All Israelis Pray.

People Love America. Sometimes They Don't Like The Decisions Made By America, But I Don't Think You Want A President Who Tries To Become Popular And Does The Wrong Thing.

Faith-based Organizations Also Need A Guarantee They Will Not Be Forced To Give Up Their Right To Hire People Of Their Own Faith As The Price Of Competing For Federal Money. If We Want This Program To Be Effective And To Save Lives, People Have Got To Say Interfacing With Government Will Not Cause Me To Lose My Mission.

Our New Faith-based Laws Have Removed Government As A Roadblock To People Of Faith Who Hear The Call.

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.

It's Not The Governor’s Role To Decide Who Goes To Heaven. That’s God’s Role.

Too Many Of Our Children Cannot Read. Reading Is The Building Block, And It Must Be The Foundation For Education Reform.

Sometimes I'm Frustrated. Rarely Surprised. Sometimes I'm Happy, You Know. But War Is Not A Time Of Joy.

I Pray Daily, And I Pray In All Kinds Of Places. I Mean, I Pray In Bed, I Pray In The Oval Office. I Pray A Lot. And Just Different As The Spirit Moves Me. And Faith Is An Integral Part Of My Life.

Eid Is A Time Of Joy, After A Season Of Fasting And Prayer And Reflection. Each Year, The End Of Ramadan Means Celebration And Thanksgiving For Millions Of Americans. And Your Joy During This Season Enriches The Life Of Our Great Country. This Year, Eid Is Celebrated At The Same Time As Hanukkah And Advent. So It's A Good Time For People Of These Great Faiths, Islam, Judaism And Christianity, To Remember How Much We Have In Common: Devotion To Family, A Commitment To Care For Those In Need, A Belief In God And His Justice, And The Hope For Peace On Earth.

I Think The Thing That -- The Prayer That I Would Like America Is To Ask For Is To Pray For God's Protection For Our Land And Our People, To Pray Against -- That There's A Shield Of Protection, So That If The Evil Ones Try To Hit Us Again, That We've Done Everything We Can, Physically, And That There Is A Spiritual Shield That Protects The Country.

What Mattered To Me Was That I Didn't Compromise My Soul In Order To Try To Achieve A Kind Of Popularity. The Only Thing You Can Do Is Just Live Your Life.

Presidents, Whether Things Are Good Or Bad, Get The Blame. I Understand That.

The Islam That We Know Is A Faith Devoted To The Worship Of One God, As Revealed Through The Holy Qu'ran. It Teaches The Value And Importance Of Charity, Mercy, And Peace.

You Might Want To Comment On That, Honorable.

I Think -- Tide Turning -- See, As I Remember -- I Was Raised In The Desert, But Tides Kind Of -- It's Easy To See A Tide Turn -- Did I Say Those Words?

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

We Want More People Owning Things In This Country. Let Me Put It To You Bluntly: In A Changing World, We Want More People To Have Control Over Your Own Life.

It Is Clear Our Nation Is Reliant Upon Big Foreign Oil. More And More Of Our Imports Come From Overseas.

Today, We're Fighting A New War To Defend Our Liberty And Our People And Our Way Of Life. And As We Work To Advance The Cause Of Freedom Around The World, We Remember That The Father Of Our Country Believed That The Freedoms We Secured In Our Revolution Were Not Meant For Americans Alone.

The Advance Of Freedom Is The Great Story Of Our Time

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.

The Important Question Is, How Many Hands Have I Shaked?

This Is A Nation That Loves Our Freedom, Loves Our Country.

All Americans Must Recognize That The Face Of Terror Is Not The True Faith - Face Of Islam. Islam Is A Faith That Brings Comfort To A Billion People Around The World. It's A Faith That Has Made Brothers And Sisters Of Every Race. It's A Faith Based Upon Love, Not Hate.

"reinvention" Is A Word That Doesn't Fit Into My Vocabulary.

I'm Not Surprised That People Are Unsettled Because Of War. The Enemy Has Got A Powerful Tool, And That Is To Get On Your Tv Screen By Killing Innocent People.

I Made Friends During My Presidency.

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.

May He Guide Us Now. And May God Continue To Bless The United States Of America.

I Vowed To Our Countrymen That I Would Do Everything I Could To Protect The American People... That's Why I Said To Afghanistan: If You Harbor A Terrorist, You're Just As Guilty As The Terrorist.

Because European Countries Now Resolve Differences Through Negotiation And Consensus, There's Sometimes An Assumption That The Entire World Functions In The Same Way. But Let Us Never Forget ... Beyond Europe's Borders, In A World Where Oppression And Violence Are Very Real, Liberation Is Still A Moral Goal, And Freedom And Security Still Need Defenders.
