My view is that discrimination against anyone at the ballot box is wrong and should have the full enforcement of the federal government.

I reserve the right, as president of the United States to meet with anybody at a time and place of my choosing if I think it's going to keep America safe.

If I were German and I had a vote, I might support Angela Merkel.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure... It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.

I don't have to negotiate an arms agreement with Great Britain or with France.

The path of America's development is never a straight line. Sometimes we move in ways that are forwards; sometime that seem back.
