The American people are proud to welcome your majesty back to the United States, a nation you've come to know very well. After all, you've dined with 10 U.S. presidents. You've helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17 - in 1976.

My pan plays down an unprecedented amount of our national debt.

There is some who say that perhaps freedom is not universal. Maybe it's only Western people that can self-govern. Maybe it's only, you know, white-guy Methodists who are capable of self-government. I reject that notion.

I will never relent in defending America - whatever it takes.

To those of you who received honours, awards and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students, I say, you too can be president of the United States.

You cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative.

You saw the president yesterday. I thought he was very forward-leaning, as they say in diplomatic nuanced circles.
