I'm going to be a president who believes in science.

I still believe Americas destiny is to become a living testament to what free human beings can accomplish by acting in unity.

We are being Americans when we hold our government to account. We are being false to our troops when we send them to a needless war, betraying their trust when we shortchange them on protective equipment, and cheating them when we silently cut their benefits.

We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts.

A fundamental premise of politics is we can make this work if people just never figure it out.

There's an agreement that Syria should be a unified country, united; that it needs to be secular; that ISIL needs to be taken on; and that there needs to be a managed transition, but there is a difference obviously in what that means and what that outcome may or may not be.

It's hard to believe that in the greatest democracy in the world, we need legislation to prevent the government from writing and paying for the news.
