I always expected this election to be exceptionally difficult for the Liberal Democrats given the heavy responsibilities we’ve had to bear in government in the most challenging of circumstances. But clearly the results have been immeasurably more crushing and unkind than I could ever have feared. For that, of course, I must take responsibility, and therefore I announce that ...
Hello GW. Thank you very much, President Knapp, for that kind intro. Alex, trustees, faculty and deans of the university, my fellow honorees, and especially you the class of 2015. Yes. Congratulations to you, to your family, to your friends that are attending today's ceremony. You made it. It's a privilege, a rare privilege of a lifetime to be with you today. And I t...
As one of the most significant Christian festivals, Easter is a time of reflection and renewal. What it celebrates is the moving and powerful story of Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. As the poet Spenser wrote, “Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.” And the values that Jesus lived his life by – compassion, humility and forgiveness – resonate with people of all fait...
Thank you so much. (Applause.) Thank you. Please have a seat. Well, thank you, everybody. And let me begin by thanking Penny Pritzker for her outstanding leadership. We've got six Cabinet Secretaries and dozens of U.S. ambassadors here, which should tell you that SelectUSA is a major priority for this administration. Since I was here with you 17 months ago, this gatherin...
Thank you for your kindness, friends. Friends, this is not the speech I wanted to give today because I believe that Britain needed a Labour government. I still do, but the public voted otherwise last night. Earlier today, I rang David Cameron to congratulate him. I take absolute and total responsibility for the result and our defeat at this election. I am so sorry for all of...
Easter is a time for Christians to celebrate the ultimate triumph of life over death in the resurrection of Jesus. And for all of us it’s a time to reflect on the part that Christianity plays in our national life – that church is not just a collection of beautiful old buildings, it’s a living active force doing great works right across our country. When people are homeless, ...
I am honored to be here today to address Dean Qian, the distinguished faculty of the Tsinghua School of Economics and Management, proud family members, supportive friends, and most importantly, the class of 2015. Unlike my boss, Mark Zuckerberg, I don't speak Chinese. I apologize. But he did ask me to pass along his congratulations. And I am thrilled to congratulate this...
Thank you! Thank you all so much. It's great to be here with all of you. I'm looking out at the audience and seeing so many familiar faces, as well as those here up on the dais. I want to thank Kevin for his introduction and his leadership of this organization. Mayor Lee, thanks for having us in your beautiful city. It is for me a great treat to come back to address ...
On March 28 at 8:30 pm, the United Nations will switch off its lights in support of Earth Hour. We do this each year to call attention to the need for climate action now, and the brighter future that lies ahead if we act together. Climate change is a people problem. People cause climate change and people suffer from climate change. People can also solve climate change. This ...
Good morning. Our nation was founded on a bedrock principle that we are all created equal. The project of each generation is to bridge the meaning of those founding words with the realities of changing times – a never-ending quest to ensure those words ring true for every single American. Progress on this journey often comes in small increments, sometimes two steps forward, ...
Hillary Clinton: The story of America is a story of hard-fought, hard-won progress. And it continues today. Groom: I can't believe we're here. Hillary Clinton: New chapters are being written by men and women who believe that all of us, not just some, but all should have the chance to live up to our God-given potential. Groom: The reason I can't believe it is beca...
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much, President Van Zant, and thanks to everyone at the New School for welcoming us today. I'm delighted to be back. You know, over the past few months, I have had the opportunity to listen to Americans' concerns about an economy that still isn't delivering for them. It's not delivering the way that it should. It s...
Hi, everybody. This Monday, I'm heading to Alaska for a three-day tour of the state. I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Not only because Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in a country that's full of beautiful places – but because I'll have several opportunities to meet with everyday Alaskans about what's going on in their lives. I...
Every year, this Christmas party is held for the children of the people living in the Mews of Buckingham Palace. Everyone seems to be enjoying it. Usually, we're lucky with the weather, but tonight it seems a bit more like a typical English winter. The children have been waiting for the usual buildup of excitement and expectation for Father Christmas to arrive, no doubt,...
SECRETARY KERRY: Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for your patience. In Washington a few moments ago, President Obama announced that we had reached an agreement to formally re-establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Cuba and that we will reopen embassies in our respective countries. Later this summer, as the President announced, I will travel to Cuba to perso...
It's great to be here at this school, at this outstanding school. Your inspiring teachers and your commitment to British values means you are not just achieving outstanding academic success, but you are building a shared community where children of many faiths and backgrounds learn not just with each other, but from each other too. And that goes right to the heart of wha...
I do not know how to apologise, but I had to do what I had to do this morning because we are trying to resolve what we call the Greek crisis in Europe and I had to spend some hours on that. I would have preferred to be together with the Prime Minister this morning to address the EU-China Business Summit, but it was not possible. So, on my knees, I am apologising to you, but ...
As the sun sets around the world this Friday, millions of Jewish families will come together for Passover. This festival marks the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. It celebrates the immeasurable value of a life lived freely and without fear. In light of the recent horrific events in France and Denmark, this act of annual remembrance is especially import...
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, South Carolina! (Applause.) Thank you! Well, it is good to see everybody. It is good to be back in South Carolina. Now, if you all have a seat, take a seat.

Give her a big round ...
