The idea of America endures. Our destiny remains our choice. And tonight, more than two centuries later, it is because of our people that our future is hopeful, our journey goes forward, and the state of our union is strong.

This is not some distant problem of the future. This is a problem that is affecting Americans right now. Whether it means increased flooding, greater vulnerability to drought, more severe wildfires - all these things are having an impact on Americans as we speak.

Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism - it is an important part of promoting peace.

There may be no greater tribute to Steve Jobs' success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.

I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.

I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans - who are just as patriotic as we are.

Nobody's changing what you've got. You get to keep it.
