If we hope to give our children a chance, it's time we start giving our teachers a chance.

I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money.

After a breakthrough year for America, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999.

I bowled a 129... It was like the Special Olympics or something!

I just want to say that the only thing less popular than putting money into banks is putting money into the auto industry.

One of the thing about being President - that can't be taught, you have to experience, is - there is the sheer weight of decision making. And when I make a decision to send 17,000 young Americans to Afghanistan - you can understand that intellectually. But understanding what that means for those families, for those young people - when you end up sitting at your desk, signing - a condolence letter to one of the family members of a fallen hero - you're reminded each and every day, at every moment, that - the decisions you make count.

For now, decisions are upon us and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.
