successful want lasts
And the last thing that I want to see us do is ask more and more of our troops [in Afghanistan ] without guaranteeing that we're providing more and more of what's necessary to make the mission successful.
survival want losing
Nearly losing my life made me want to live my life.
president culture moments
The moment somebody's a president and you call him "Mr. President," (the person represents) our culture, our history, our sense as our nation.
ideas people reform
The American people... want change. They want big ideas, big reform.
hurt winning ability
I've never been in a place where winning has hurt the ability to do anything.
may mayors
You may say I may be unfit to be mayor. But you can never say I'm an unfit mayor,
thinking our-actions lord
As individuals, we will be judged in our lives by the totality of our actions. Not one thing will stand out. And I think that's how we get judged by our colleagues and that's how we get judged by the good lord.
jobs war fall
When President Obama entered the White House, the economy was in a free-fall. The auto industry: on its back. The banks: frozen up. More than three million Americans had already lost their jobs. And America's bravest, our men and women in uniform, were fighting what would soon be the longest wars in our history.
world troops ability
Our troops are the best in the world. I have absolute confidence in the ability of the troops who are here, or additional troops, to do their part.
country recovery want
I don't want to go negative on Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but he didn't pass an economic deal in the first 100 days. We have passed the largest Recovery Act in the history of the country.

Everybody knows they're on the Obama team: There isn't vice presidential vs. presidential division, there's not a generational pull. People have internalized that this is a real moment in history.
running marine-corps safe
There's no safe Republican district. You can run, but you cannot hide.
moving heart silence
As we move forward, I am looking for a new leader of the Chicago Police Department to address the problems at the very heart of the policing profession. The problem is sometimes referred to as "the thin blue line." The problem is other times referred to as "the code of silence." It is this tendency to ignore. It is the tendency to deny. It is the tendency, in some cases, to cover up the bad actions of a colleague or colleagues.
strong class digging
A strong economy depends on a strong middle class, but George Bush has put the middle class in a hole, and John McCain has a plan to keep digging that hole with George Bush's shovel.
