president quality care
Because of the president's leadership, every American will have access to affordable, quality health care.
white house economy
[Obama White House] rescued the economy from the worst recession.
world troops ability
Our troops are the best in the world. I have absolute confidence in the ability of the troops who are here, or additional troops, to do their part.
long littles way
We have come a long way and we have a little further to go.
would-be stories pressure
Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There's a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn't exist.
survival want losing
Nearly losing my life made me want to live my life.
play cities people
We're proud of the work we're doing to make Chicago a great city for people of all ages. Nothing's more important than keeping in mind the needs of older adults - and how valuable a role they play in improving the city, based on their amazing collective talent and wisdom.
president culture moments
The moment somebody's a president and you call him "Mr. President," (the person represents) our culture, our history, our sense as our nation.

There was no blueprint or how-to manual for fixing a global financial meltdown, an auto crisis, two wars and a great recession, all at the same time.
teamwork hero sacrifice
We invoke the sacrifices of our fallen heroes in the abstract, but we seldom take time to thank them individually.
son thinking iraq
I think indeed our response on counterinsurgency needs to be finely tuned to the needs of Afghanistan. This is not Iraq. We don't have a Sons of Iraq here. We don't have the same divisions here that we had between Sunni and Shia.
land white office
Whose leadership, whose judgment, whose values do you want in the White House when that crisis lands like a thud on the Oval Office desk?
real team people
Everybody knows they're on the Obama team: There isn't vice presidential vs. presidential division, there's not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.
home iraq america
I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today, our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
