My fellow citizens, the dangers to our country and the world will be overcome. We will pass through this time of peril and carry on the work of peace. We will defend our freedom. We will bring freedom to others and we will prevail.

I think, to a certain extent the economy and these decisions I made to protect the country matter a lot.

The point is, this is a way to help inoculate me about what has come and is coming.

My administration will be more supportive of the good works done here than any administration in the history of this country because I understand the power of faith, that faith can change lives.

Those who heralded the decision not to give law enforcement the tools necessary to protect the American people just simply don't see the world the way we do.

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.

The American people have got a touchstone: Which party voted for the tools necessary to protect America and which party didn't? And that's what I'm trying to get people to focus on.
