Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.

People forget... that we structured it so that the government, or the people, would be repaid with a really good rate of return. And as it turns out, that aspect of TARP, that's what happened.

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

I also have picked a secretary for Housing and Human Development. Mel Martinez from the state of Florida.

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.

North Korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction, while starving its citizens.

If you haven't doubted, you probably haven't thought very hard about what you believe.
