We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.

I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.

Running for president was a good decision.

Can't living with the bill means it won't become law.

We have learned that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength; they are invited by the perception of weakness. And the surest way to avoid attacks on our own people is to engage the enemy where he lives and plans. We are fighting that enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan today so that we do not meet him again on our own streets, in our own cities.

No matter what your politics is, we ought to be thanking people for volunteering.

I think all presidents should take the long view of history.
