Building Quotes
In 1991, with our leadership, the U.N. Security Council encouraged Iraq to sell oil to pay for these critical humanitarian supplies.

Arabia Quotes
If you look at what we did in our library -- we reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 34 percent, we reduced our electric bill by 34 percent, with more efficient lighting, more efficient heating, all kinds of conservation measures. We have over 300 solar panels which were made in America. So instead of sending money to Saudi Arabia or someplace else for oil we sent the money to an American manufacturing company to hire Americans to make solar panels. So it is good business.

Bill Quotes
In the last energy bill they finally gave a 25 percent tax credit for the purchase of new solar equipment and other clean energy equipment. I tried for three years to pass that as president and could not do so. So I am thrilled that it passed. This will mean that a lot of these products are now far more cost effective and will off a lot sooner than they would before.

The public outrage in Laramie and all across America today echoes what we heard at the White House Conference on Hate Crimes last year -- there is something we can do about this, Congress needs to pass our tough Hate Crimes Legislation. It can do so even before it adjourns and it should do so.

Answer Quotes
I am often troubled as I try hard here to create a new sense of common purpose. . . . And I have felt in the last several months during my presidency that we oftentimes get so caught up in the battle of the moment, the heat of the moment -- how are you going to answer this charge, and make that change, or deal with this difficulty -- that sometimes we forget that we are all in this because we are seeking a good that helps all Americans.
