This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet.

In Missouri, it's a 50/50 state, so I'm kind of used to half the state being mad at me.

What is certainly true is that the United States has to have a presence to promote the values that we care about.

I found during the course of my political career on the national scene there's a point where the vanity burns away and you've had your fill of your name in the papers, or big adoring crowds, or the exercise of power. And for me that happened fairly quickly. And then you are really focused on: What am I going to get done with this strange privilege that's been granted to me? How do I make myself worthy of it?

Our kids grew up here [in the White House]. Some of our best friends have been made here in this place. There have been moments that were highlights for us - that - you know, are going to be hard to duplicate.

America, now is not the time for small plans.

[White House] feels even more like home now because you have all these memories that were formed watching your kids grow up.
