I have something else to ask you, to ask every American. I ask you to pray for this great nation.

I think you ought to be open-minded as to where life takes you.

One principle is the universality of freedom. I'm a freedom lover.

I'm going to spend a lot of time on Social Security. I enjoy it. I enjoy taking on the issue. I guess, it's the mother in me.

And I strongly support the faith-based initiative that we're proposing, because I don't believe it violates the line between the separation of church and state, and I believe it's going to make America a better place.

The terrorists know that the outcome will leave them emboldened or defeated. So they are waging a campaign of murder and destruction. And there is no limit to the innocent lives they are willing to take.

I don't want to interfere with my successor's presidency.
