I know we need more nuclear power in order - nuclear power, after all, is not dependent on fossil fuels and emits no greenhouse gases. I believe we're going to be able to have coal-fired plants that have zero emissions. We need to work on carbon sequestration technologies. I mean, there's a lot we can do together and achieve the objective, which a lot of people want, which is the reduction of greenhouse gases, and at the same time, have viable economic growth.

When your economy is kind of ooching along, it's important to let people have more of their own money.

I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.

I worry about protectionists, which is another way of saying less competition, less trade around the world. And I view those as twins of negativity.

I think a lot of the national Democrats believe that, you know, Iraq is a distraction and not part of the War on Terror. They've said so. And I strongly disagree.

There are prayers that help us last through the day, or endure the night. There are prayers of friends and strangers, that give us strength for the journey. And there are prayers that yield our will to a will greater than our own.

All across America, we gather this week with the people we love to give thanks to God for the blessings in our lives.
