believe important president
I believe the record I was allowed to help establish by the side of the president was important.
hurt winning ability
I've never been in a place where winning has hurt the ability to do anything.
may mayors
You may say I may be unfit to be mayor. But you can never say I'm an unfit mayor,
thinking our-actions lord
As individuals, we will be judged in our lives by the totality of our actions. Not one thing will stand out. And I think that's how we get judged by our colleagues and that's how we get judged by the good lord.
jobs war fall
When President Obama entered the White House, the economy was in a free-fall. The auto industry: on its back. The banks: frozen up. More than three million Americans had already lost their jobs. And America's bravest, our men and women in uniform, were fighting what would soon be the longest wars in our history.
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.
country recovery want
I don't want to go negative on Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but he didn't pass an economic deal in the first 100 days. We have passed the largest Recovery Act in the history of the country.
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.
running marine-corps safe
There's no safe Republican district. You can run, but you cannot hide.
moving heart silence
As we move forward, I am looking for a new leader of the Chicago Police Department to address the problems at the very heart of the policing profession. The problem is sometimes referred to as "the thin blue line." The problem is other times referred to as "the code of silence." It is this tendency to ignore. It is the tendency to deny. It is the tendency, in some cases, to cover up the bad actions of a colleague or colleagues.
strong class digging
A strong economy depends on a strong middle class, but George Bush has put the middle class in a hole, and John McCain has a plan to keep digging that hole with George Bush's shovel.
chicago chicks values
Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values
wall feet president
Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street's excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
responsible above-the-law behave
No officer should be allowed to behave as if they are above the law, just because they are responsible for upholding the law.
