I think there is need for economic stimulus... and government can help make that up in a very difficult time.

China has to understand America wants to trade with them. We want a world that's stable. We like free enterprise, but you got to play by the rules.

There are a few things that were disconcerting: the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials. That, obviously, is not something which is encouraging.

Men and women of every faithб and good people with none at allб sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.

We can be deeply thankful that we live in a land where reason and religion are friends and allies in the cause of liberty, joined against the evils and dangers of the day. And you can be certain of this: Any believer in religious freedom, any person who has knelt in prayer to the Almighty, has a friend and ally in me. And so it is for hundreds of millions of our countrymen: we do not insist on a single strain of religion - rather, we welcome our nation's symphony of faith.

You balance the budget by restraining the growth of government and encouraging the growth of the private sector.

That's a big lava lamp. Congratulations.
