Mr President, Prince Philip and I would like to thank you and Frau Schadt for the warm welcome you have given us at the start of our fifth State Visit to Germany. In the 50 years since our first visit, our countries have lived through many profound changes. I am very glad to record that one of the irreversible changes for the better in my lifetime has been in the relationshi...
Hi, I'm Senator Pat Toomey from Pennsylvania. Thank you for listening, and I hope you are enjoying a great Labor Day weekend with family and friends. Next week, the Senate is likely to debate the Iran nuclear weapons deal. What's at stake here is nothing less than the possibility of giving hundreds of billions of dollars to the world's largest and worst state spo...
Please be seated, everybody. Thank you very, very much. Muchas gracias. Buenos dias. I'm so sorry that we are a little bit late today, but what a beautiful ride in and how wonderful to be here. And I thank you for leaving my future transportation out here in back of me. I love it. (Laughter.) Distinguished members of the Cuban delegation – Josefina, thank you for your le...

MRS. OBAMA: I see tears. I do. Wow, Abby, amazing. We're so proud of you. Man, good stuff! Very good stuff. You guys, welcome to the White House. Let's say that again – welcome to the White House! This is the whole house's favorite event – the Kids' State Dinner. Look at this place. Do you know how many people put time and effort into making this as amazing a...
I'd like to send my very best wishes to everyone observing the holy month of Ramadan. It's a hugely important time, as Muslims in Britain and across the world mark the foundation of their faith. And as friends and families come together, in contemplation and in fasting, we are reminded of those Muslim values – those British values – of community, family and charity. ...
We Canadians are blessed to live in the best country in the world. But we must remember that our good fortune is not an accident. It's the direct result of visionary leaders, of courageous men and women in uniform, of the waves of industrious immigrants who have come to our shores, of the decorated athletes who unite us and make us proud, and, of course, because of Canad...
Thank you, President Torres. Welcome, Governor Patrick. Thank you, everyone, for being here. The 146th annual meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association at the 364th Commencement of Harvard University. It's a particular pleasure to welcome former Governor Deval Patrick of the College Class of 1978 and the Harvard Law School Class of 1982. Throughout his distinguished care...
Hi, everybody. This week, after five years of effort with eleven other nations, we reached agreement on a new trade deal that promotes American values and protects American workers. There's a reason this Trans-Pacific Partnership took five years to negotiate. I wanted to get the best possible deal for American workers. And that is what we've done. Here's why it m...
Hi, everybody. I hope most of you are gearing up for a long weekend with family and friends – maybe some barbeques, road trips, or fantasy drafts. But I want to take a moment to talk to you about the real meaning of Labor Day – a day we set aside every year to honor the hardworking men and women who fought for so many of the rights that we take for granted today. The eight-h...
Hi, everybody. Today, there are 2.2 million people behind bars in America and millions more on parole or probation. Every year, we spend $80 billion in taxpayer dollars to keep people incarcerated. Many are non-violent offenders serving unnecessarily long sentences. I believe we can disrupt the pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails. I believe we can address ...
Hi, everybody. For decades, too many working Americans went without the security of health insurance – and their financial well-being suffered because of it. We've begun to change that. As the Affordable Care Act has taken effect, we've covered 17.6 million Americans. Since 2010, the uninsured rate has decreased by 45%. And for the first time, more than 90% of Americ...
Chairman, Principal,Ladies and gentlemen, I couldn't be more pleased to be back at this great institution and to be with you on such a special day in all your careers. I now realize I have been President of the College for the last thirty years, which makes me feel somewhat ancient, but it also means that I have seen some remarkable changes, including the introduction of...
Hi, everybody. Our country is home to some of the most beautiful God-given landscapes in the world. We're blessed with natural treasures – from the Grand Tetons to the Grand Canyon; from lush forests and vast deserts to lakes and rivers teeming with wildlife. And it's our responsibility to protect these treasures for future generations, just as previous generations p...
Hi. I'm Dr. John Barrasso, United States Senator for Wyoming. Let me tell you a story about a family in my home state. Andy Johnson is 32, he works as a welder. He and his wife Katie have four kids and they live out in the country. They have a few cows and some horses. Two years ago, the Johnsons wanted to build a small pond in their front yard. They got their plan appro...
Hi, everybody. Thirty years ago, there were 500,000 people behind bars in America. Today, there are 2.2 million. The United States is home to 5 percent of the world's population, but 25 percent of the world's prisoners. Every year, we spend $80 billion to keep people locked up. Now, many of the folks in prison absolutely belong there – our streets are safer thanks to...
Good morning, everyone. This past week, we've seen the best and the worst of humanity. The heinous terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut, in Iraq and Nigeria. They showed us once again the depths of the terrorist's depravity. And at the same time, we saw the world come together in solidarity. Parisians opening their doors to anyone trapped in the street, taxi drivers...
Hi, everybody. It's hard to believe, but it was seven years ago this week that one of Wall Street's biggest investment banks went bankrupt, triggering a meltdown on Wall Street and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And in the months that followed, millions of Americans lost their jobs, their homes, and the savings they'd worked so hard to buil...

And we set out to rebuild our economy on a new foundation for growth and prosperity by investing in things that grow our middle class – things like jobs, health care, and education. Today, ...
