The U.S. liberated Iraq from a tyrant. I think the Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude, and I believe most Iraqis express that. I mean, the people understand that we've endured great sacrifice to help them. That's the problem here in America. They wonder whether or not there is a gratitude level that's significant enough in Iraq.

We have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil... The best way to break this addiction is through technology.

I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure.

My answer is bring them on.

The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test.

One of the very difficult parts of the decision I made on the financial crisis was to use hardworking people's money to help prevent there to be a crisis.

I came to this office to solve problems, and not pass them on to future Presidents and future generations.
