Let us never forget the greatest untapped market for American enterprise is right here in America, in the inner cities, in the rural areas.
We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans...
Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and by studying music in schools, students have the opportunity to build on these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective.
Let me be clear: we are still a nation of immigrants, and we honor all those immigrants who are working hard to become new citizens.
It simply doesn’t make any sense for us to have illegal aliens in our custody in our courts and then let them go back to living here illegally. That’s wrong and we should stop it.
We live in an interdependent world. Every time you cut off somebody else’s opportunities, you shrink your own horizons.
The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change.
If you think the President was right to open the doors of American opportunity to young immigrants brought here as children who want to go to college or serve in the military, you should vote for Barack Obama.
One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.
President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did. Listen to me now. No president, not me, not any of my predecessors, no one could have fully repaired all the damage that he found in just four years.
President Obama’s approach embodies the values, the ideas, and the direction America must take to build a 21st century version of the American Dream in a nation of shared opportunities, shared prosperity and shared responsibilities.
President Obama’s record on national security is a tribute to his strength, and judgment, and to his preference for inclusion and partnership over partisanship.
We simply have to transition from an economy based almost exclusively on oil and coal and natural gas to one that’s far more diversified, that uses solar energy, and wind energy, and the power of the tides, and bio-mass energy, and eventually, develops hydrogen.
We all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more.
When our memories outweigh our dreams, it is then that we become old.
We live in a completely interdependent world, which simply means we can not escape each other. How we respond to AIDS depends, in part, on whether we understand this interdependence. It is not someone else’s problem. This is everybody’s problem.
A man is more than the sum of all the things he can do.
Education no longer stops on graduation day. We must demand excellence at every level of education.
If you want to live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat.
America just works better when more people have a chance to live their dreams.
