Whatever decisions I make are going to be based first on a strategy to keep us safe and then we'll figure out how to resource it.

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.

But having made my decision as Commander-in-Chief based on what I am convinced is our national security interests, I will seek authorization for the use of force from the American people's representatives in Congress.

My hope is Donald Trump makes things better. And if he does, we'll all benefit from it.

As we look forward to the New Year, let's resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share.

I will set big goals for this country as president - some so large that the technology to reach them does not yet exist.""I will recruit new teachers and make new investments in rural schools, we'll connect all of America to 21st century technology and telecommunications.

I still don't feel responsible for what Donald Trump says or does. But I do feel a responsibility as president of the United States to make sure that I facilitate a good transition and I present to him as well, as the American people my best thinking, my best ideas about how you move the country forward. To speak out with respect to areas where I think the Republican party's wrong, but to pledge to work with them on those things that I think will advance the causes of security and prosperity and justice and inclusiveness in America.
