Christmas is a special time. For most of us, it is a time to be together with our loved ones, our families; a time to pause and reflect; a time to recognise and give thanks for the good people, and happy events in our lives. If Christmas is a time to celebrate, it is also a time to share. We share each other's company, each other's achievements, together with each ot...
My fellow Singaporeans: What were your most memorable moments of 2015? For me, four moments in particular stood out. The first was on 29 March, when we sent off our founding Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Singaporeans lined the streets to bid him a final farewell. The rain was pouring. As the gun carriage left Parliament House, people shouted his name. I was deeply moved to...
Good afternoon. Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at ¼ to ½ percent. Our decision to keep this accommodative policy stance reflects both our assessment of the economic outlook and the risks associated with that outlook. The Committee's baseline expectations for economic activity, the labor m...
My friends, This is a time to give thanks for loved ones, and look back on the past year. We come together – in places of worship, around the table, or under the tree – to celebrate the spirit of the season. We often celebrate this time of year by showing our generosity to family and friends. I trust that we will do the same with the thousands of people who are experiencing ...

I have personally met thousands of heroines in countries around the world. Women defending human rights. Women challenging authoritarians. Women rejecting injustice. Again and again, I have been inspired by female leaders of countries and peacekeeping operations, women doctors and activists, mothers who sacrifice for their families, girls who champion the right to education....
Hi, everybody. This week, I'm speaking to you from our Nuclear Security Summit. I welcomed more than 50 leaders from around the world to make sure we're working together to meet one of the greatest threats to global security – terrorists getting their hands on a weapon of mass destruction, like a nuclear weapon. Fortunately, because of our efforts so far, no terroris...
Hi, everybody. One of the things that makes America great is our passion for innovation – that spirit of discovery and entrepreneurship that helps us meet any challenge. One of the greatest challenges of our time is climate change. Over the last seven years, we've made historic investments in clean energy that helped private sector companies create tens of thousands of g...
Hi, everybody. It's now been 45 days since I nominated Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. Judge Garland is a man of experience, integrity, and unimpeachable qualifications. Judge Garland is someone who Senate Republicans are on record saying is "a man of accomplishment and keen intellect;" a man who's "honest and capable;" a man whose &qu...
President Obama: Good afternoon, everybody. I'm horning in on Josh's time just for a hot second. As we learned last week, America's economy added 215,000 jobs in March. That means that our businesses extended the longest streak of private sector job creation on record – 73 straight months, 14.4 million new jobs, unemployment about half of what it was six years ag...

Critical to any economy and society is ensuring that the ingenuity, the wisdom and the talents of all our people are used, to their full potential, in our schools, in our workplaces and in the innovative industries of the future. Women hol...
Hi, everybody. One of the most consequential responsibilities our Constitution grants a President is appointing a Supreme Court Justice. The men and women who sit on the Supreme Court safeguard our rights. They ensure that ours is a system of laws, not of men. And they're given the essential task of applying the principles written into our founding documents to the most ...
This week, our hearts are with the people of Belgium, as terrorist attacks claimed the lives of more than thirty people. Yesterday, we learned that at least two Americans were killed. We pray for their families and loved ones. At least fourteen Americans were injured. And we pray for their full recovery – along with everyone else affected by these attacks. Earlier this week,...
I want to send my best wishes to everyone in Britain and around the world celebrating Vaisakhi. This time last year, I marked the festival in Gravesend.

It was amazing to join the thousands of people celebrating the birth of ...

Chokma, I'm Lisa Johnson-Billy. I'm a member of the Oklahoma state house, where I serve as the floor leader. I'm also a proud member of the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes. In fact, I am the first Native American, the first woman, and the first Republican to represent my district. I know I may not be a familiar face in Washington. But our leaders need to hear from p...
