Faith is the framework for living. It gives us the spirit and heart that affects everything we do. If gives us hope each day. Faith gives us purpose to right wrongs, to preserve our families, and to teach our children values. Faith gives us conscience to keep us honest, even when nobody is looking. And, faith can change lives; I know first hand, because faith changed mine.

I regret that a private comment I made to the vice presidential candidate made it through the public airways.

I respect every soldier, from every country, who serves beside us in the hard work of history. America is grateful, and America will not forget.

I'm the only president who really put it out in the State of the Union and was very specific about how I felt we ought to do it.

Whether or not it needed to happen, I'm still convinced it needed to happen.

Think about that. Two hundred and eighty-five new or expanded programs, $2 trillion more in new spending, and not one new bureaucrat to file out the forms or answer the phones?

We face an enemy that is brutal. There is no negotiation with these people. You can't try to talk reason into these totalitarians.
