President Obama and I recognize the importance of strong economic engagement for the continued growth of both the Philippines and the United States.
I have a very deep concern about President Obama putting in another 21,000 troops into Afghanistan with the promise of more to come.
I would never say President Obama doesn't have the capacity to continue to serve because of his statement that there are 56 states.
I think the problem with President Obama - and I like him personally, I came into the Senate with him - is his agenda.
I happen to agree with many of President Obama's policies, but in our system, it is often as important how you do something as what you do.
I think blaming the president for high gas prices is like blaming Rudy Giuliani for 9/11.
I actually prepared Vice President Biden for his debate in the last election. I played Sarah Palin. It's a little tough debating a woman.
The American people on the ground need a clearer, stronger, Lyndon B. Johnson-type voice from their president. Obama has that voice. It has to be used.
I've met a handful of presidents, from Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton to George Bush to Barack Obama.
Barack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That's just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.
I heard someone in opposition to reform last night criticize the president for saying it's their money. They said it's not their money; it's my mother's money. Well that's what's wrong with the system.
There is but one way for a president to deal with Congress, and that is continuously, incessantly, and without interruption. If it is really going to work, the relationship has got to be almost incestuous.
I respect everyone, from the homeless brother and sister on the street to the executive that sits in the highest office named President Barack Obama. I respect everyone - but we over-respect no one.
The promise of Obama's presidency, in many people's minds, is partly that America will move toward becoming a post-racial society. It's pretty clear, though, that we aren't there yet.
The president strongly believes that marriage in this country ought to be between a man and a woman. He also believes it is something that ought to be decided by the people. He doesn't believe that judges ought to impose their will on the people.
As a businessman, I know President Obama understands what it takes to spark economic growth, because I have seen him in action.
I'll be damned if I am not getting tired of this. It seems to be the profession of a President simply to hear other people talk.
President Obama seems to think that you win by demonstrating that you're a more reasonable person than your opponents. It didn't work too badly, I'll grant, as an electoral strategy in the 2012 election.
At the height of the Cold War, when Ronald Reagan was president, the Soviets and their allies and satellites did not shirk human rights debates with the West. They had their arguments ready.
Al-Qa'ida seeks to portray America as an enemy of the world's Muslims. But President Obama has made it clear that the United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.
I perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.
