My guiding principle as president has been to try to do the right thing even when it's not politically convenient.

I've enjoyed the conversations that we've had. [Donald Trump] is somebody who I think is not lacking in confidence.

I do think that all politicians today have to be more attentive to people wanting to be heard, wanting to have more control over their lives.

The only people who don't want to disclose the truth are the people with something to hide.

This is not class warfare. It’s math.

We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it - not by turning it over to Wall Street.

I want to express our grieve and condolences to the families of two hostages: one American, Dr. Warren Weinstein and an Italian Giovanni LaPorto who were tragically killed in a U.S. counterterrorism operation.
