- Obama’s strategy aims to boost the size of the Afghan army from 80,000 to 134,000 troops by 2011 — and greatly increase training by U.S. troops accompanying them — so the Afghan military can defeat Taliban insurgents and take control of the war. The White House also is pushing forces to set clear goals for a war gone awry, to get the American people behind them, to provide more resources and to make a better case for international support.
- "That's why the American people will now have a particularly clear choice in next year's election — to continue down this path of fiscal mismanagement, more big government, and one-party control in Washington or to restore a system of checks and balances that will hold government accountable to its citizens."

- Here you’ve got a situation where we have and other extremists who would gladly blow up Americans, and yet we don’t have a clear terminal point, there’s not going to be some surrender ceremony where Emperor Hirohito signs the papers. And given that fact, how to manage extremists who want to do us harm and may not fall neatly under traditional criminal jurisprudence here in the United States or even international laws, but making sure that both the American people are safe and our Constitution is upheld is a very difficult thing.
- Obama: I am not comfortable with doing something this significant through executive order. I think it is very important that the American people and Congress, in conjunction with my administration, come up with a structure that is not only legitimate in the eyes of our constitutional traditions, but also in the eyes of the international community, because part of our task in defeating these extremists is winning over allies and populations that right now feel as if we haven’t been living up to our highest ideals.
- “It is very important that the American people and Congress, in conjunction with my administration, come up with a structure that is not only legitimate in the eyes of our constitutional traditions, but also in the eyes of the international community,” he said.

- * On health care, he said he and the president plan “feel confident’’ that both chambers of Congress will have passed a health care bill by the August recess. He said he and Mr. Obama would become more deeply engaged in the legislative process once the bill reaches conference, and vowed to ‘’fight very hard’’ for their priorities, including ‘’a public plan to cover the vast majority of the American people.’’ He predicted a bill would pass but would not say how many Republican votes it might get.
- Then it goes to conference and some of all of the elements of what we are proposing are in each of the bills, and that’s when we will fight very hard to try to produce a bill out of that conference that is consistent with what we believe is the way to fund it, the way to make sure there’s competition with the insurance industry through a public plan to cover the vast majority of the American people.’’
- “Keep it as small as possible. Keep the tax burden on the American people as small as possible, but at the same time, have government that is solving the problems of the people,” he said.
July 6, 2009
- “The American people are ready to make a leap, but they need to be convinced of the value of what they’re buying,” according to a memo from Third Way, a centrist think tank and strategy group, based on a survey by Benenson Strategy Group, one of Obama’s pollsters. “Stability can offer that.”
July 7, 2009
- On Tuesday, Judiciary Chairman Patrick J. Leahy, D-Vt., held a press conference with nine law enforcement group officials to tout the nominee. Asked about a potential GOP move to delay the July 13 hearing start date, Leahy said, "I have a feeling that the American people would say 'what are you afraid of?'"
- “We should all assume that, for purposes of national security and the protection of the American people, there will be at the end of this review a category of people that we in the administration believe must be retained for reasons of public safety and national security,” Johnson told Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “And they’re not necessarily people that we’ll prosecute.”
- “The American people will fully understand that (Democrats) own the government, the executive branch, the House and the Senate,” said Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

July 9, 2009
- “They're clearly trying to create the impression that these ‘deals’ mean more than they do,” said House Republican Leader John Boehner spokesman Michael Steel. “The White House shouldn't be trying to hoodwink the American people on something this important.”
July 12, 2009
- “I do think it has to be handled correctly,” he said. “I think the American people will respond well if they believe that the Republicans are committed that anyone going onto the Supreme Court is fair and just.” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who is undecided on how he’ll vote, predicted that “she will have bipartisan support.” And he said that given Utah GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch’s occasional tendency to defer to a president on nominees, he could be the lone GOP senator to back Sotomayor if the others vote the opposite way.
- “Simply put, this is now President Obama’s economy and the American people are beginning to question whether his policies are working,” Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House Republican whip, said in the GOP’s weekly address.
- The committee's chairman, Vermont's Patrick Leahy , is known for being outspoken and for his liberal voting record. Leahy has vowed that the hearings not only will air all the issues but also send a signal to the American people about the rule of law, which he says was "damaged" during the Bush administration by the creation of secret CIA prisons, the failure to provide due process to prisoners at Guantanamo , and harsh interrogation practices.
- “Our commitment … to the world and of course, the American people, is to make sure we’ll put in place the policies that can sustain confidence in this economy and this financial system,” he said.
July 13, 2009
- “The American people did wake up,” said Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) about the BTU tax in a hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. “They’ll do that again.”
- "As we work toward a solution to this healthcare crisis, I promise to communicate directly with the American people to help guide them through whatever changes may come with healthcare reform," she added.
- “The speaker’s liberal allies are keeping her accusations against the CIA front and center by trying to score political points on intelligence-related issues — which does nothing to make the American people safer,” said Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner.
July 14, 2009
- She also said that if the American people had been given a chance to express themselves, she thinks “they would say yes” to keeping them secret.
- "I admire Secretary Gates, but it is the duty and obligation of members of Congress to question his recommendations," Chambliss said on the Senate floor Tuesday. "Only the Congress can decide what to do with the nation… . Congress is the branch of government most directly connected to the American people. We have a crucial role in the budget process."
- “I hope it doesn’t come to that,” Dole said. “If there’snot a Senate Republican vote for the package, then theAmerican people are going to be very skeptical.
- “My goal is simple: To have the most effective system in place to inform the American people about threats to our country,” Napolitano said in a statement.
July 15, 2009
- Still, Coburn expressed some frustration at Sotomayor’s answers. “What the American people want to see is inside and what your gut says,” he declared.
- "It reflects her awareness that, as the administration grapples with these problems that it inherited, it increasingly owns them," said an informal advisor to the secretary, Brookings Institution president Strobe Talbott. "While there's patience on the part of both the American people and the international community, there's also eagerness at home and abroad to see the heavy emphasis on diplomacy and 'architecture' … . translate into concrete progress. She's signaling that she knows that."
July 16, 2009
- Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Ricci “deserves his chance to tell the American people about how he felt about being denied his promotion, and why he filed suit and what he did to make himself a better candidate for the test.”

- “Seventy-two percent of the American people want a publicoption,” said Representative John Tierney, a MassachusettsDemocrat. “Let’s make it strong, let’s make it good and put astop to the outrageous behavior of the insurance companies.”
- "I think the American people and Congress have questions," Bachus said, noting that taxpayers have extended bailouts and bankruptcy financing and now own a majority stake in GM (60 percent) and a lesser share in Chrysler (8 percent).
- "The president this afternoon repeatedly stated that health care reform must lower costs for the American people. Republicans agree. But the actual bill put together by House Democrats does not do that," said House Republican Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio. Alluding to the CBO analysis, Boehner said, "The bill will not lower costs."
- David Walker , a former head of the Government Accountability Office , noted the CBO analysis and asked Summers: "What would you say about the fact that we're in danger of creating a huge expectation gap for the American people on health care, because we can't reduce costs by expanding coverage?"
- “It doesn’t make any sense that we’re debating a welfare program about wild horses when the American people really want to know, ‘where are the jobs?’” Boehner said.
- Obama planned to call Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to express his sympathy and offer of U.S. help. In his statement released by the White House, the president said “the American people stand by the Indonesian people in this difficult time, and the U.S. government stands ready to help the Indonesian government respond to and recover from these outrageous attacks as a friend and partner.”
- Traveling to Vietnam for a series of reports in 1968, Cronkite had firmly established both his journalistic bona fides and position of trust with the American people. With anti-war sentiment growing back home, he returned to deliver, on-air, perhaps the most powerful and influential editorial statements of any reporter in history, all-but declaring that the war in Southeast Asia could not be won.
July 18, 2009
- "So today, I am urging the House and the Senate, Democrats and Republicans, to seize this opportunity, and vote for reform that gives the American people the best care at the lowest cost; that reins in insurance companies, strengthens businesses and finally gives families the choices they need and the security they deserve," the president concluded.
- They concluded their letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell: “We look forward to working with you to develop legislation that is vital to the well-being of the American people and urge you to resist timelines which prevent us from achieving the best result. This opportunity is rare and the impact will last for generations.”
July 19, 2009
- “They’re great at campaigns, but legislative battles are different,” said a senior Democrat close to the White House. “It’s not about persuading 51 percent of the American people – it’s about seven senators.”
- He was interviewed in English and asked his views on the war, which he called extremely hard; his desire to learn more about Islam; and the morale of American soldiers, which he said was low. He was prompted by his interrogators to give a message to the American people.
- "We want to set the record straight and make sure the American people know that we're doing everything possible and we're doing our share to get reform done and any suggestion that we haven't been at the table, that we haven't made a contribution does not square with the facts," said AHIP spokesman Michael Tuffin, noting the industry's openness to market and administrative reforms.
July 20, 2009
- Congressional Democrats say they will call for Treasury to meet transparency requirements suggested by the inspector general, said a spokeswoman for the Oversight committee. “The American people need to know what’s going on with their money,” said committee spokeswoman Jenny Rosenberg.

July 21, 2009
- "This isn't Washington sport, this isn't about who's up and who's down. This is about solving an enormous problem for the American people," he said.
- WASHINGTON – Obama: American people understand that status quo on health care is unacceptable.
- The president hailed the Senate's vote, declaring, "At a time when we're fighting two wars and facing a serious deficit, this would have been an inexcusable waste of money. Every dollar of waste in our defense budget is a dollar we can't spend to support our troops, or prepare for future threats, or protect the American people. Our budget is a zero-sum game, and if more money goes to F-22s, it is our troops and citizens who lose."
- Still, the RNC chairman said in the CNN interview he’s “happy” with the coverage, “just like 85 percent of the American people.”
- “We don’t want a bailout of the auto industry to become a washout for the auto dealers,” said Rep. Dan Maffei, D-N.Y., who complained that “the Congress and American people were left in the dark” during the reorganization of the Detroit companies.
- Asked whether the Bush administration made a mistake by not putting more diplomatic effort into U.S. relationship in Asia, Clinton replied by saying that in last November’s election, “the American people made a very definite decision.”
- “The easiest way to keep your poll numbers up, and to garner good press, is to do not that much here in this town, and not to cause a lot of controversy. And there’s some people who would probably advise that that’s the approach you should take. But that’s not why the American people sent me here. They sent me here to solve problems,” he said.
July 22, 2009
- White House press secretary Robert Gibbs dismissed the idea of Obama overload. “It’s important that the president continue to remind the American people what’s at stake,” Gibbs said Tuesday, when asked about Obama’s nine health care speeches in nine days. “I don’t think he can probably say that enough.”
- "The policies are not matching up to the promises. They're loading trillions of dollars of debt onto the American people," DeMint said.
- "I can't help but think it's nothing more than an attempt to scare the American people away from being informed and concerned about the massive abortion mandates that are in the proposed health care reform bills," Culp said, "and that will remain there unless explicitly excluded."
- "Not only the public option, but the insurance regulation that we want to put in place will largely match up with what members of Congress are getting through the federal employee plan," Obama said. "That's a good example of what we're trying to build for the American people."
- "Can I guarantee that there are going to be no changes in the health-care delivery system? No, the whole point of this is to try to encourage changes that work for the American people and make them healthier," Obama said later.
- "No, I don't think they have the votes," Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., said, according to ABC News. "We're speaking for a silent majority within the Democratic caucus.The American people want us to slow down and they want us to get it right."
- Q: Thank you, Mr. President. Congress, as you alluded to, is trying to figure out how to pay for all of this reform. Have you told House and Senate leaders which of their ideas are acceptable to you? If so, are you willing to share that stand of yours with the American people? And if you haven’t given that kind of direction to congressional leaders, are you willing to — are you willing to explain why you’re not stepping in to get a deal done, since you’re the one setting a deadline?
- But my hope is — and I’m confident that, when people look at the cost of doing nothing, they’re going to say, We can make this happen. We’ve made big changes before that end up resulting in a better life for the American people.
- And my measure of whether things work or not is listening to the American people, but also listening to health care experts who have shown that, in some communities, health care is cheaper and delivers a better result. I think we can achieve that.
- So I’m confident that, if we just keep at it and we keep working, we’re diligent, we’re honest, if we take criticisms that are out there and modify whatever plans are already working through Congress so that it meets those concerns and those criticisms, that we can arrive at a bill that is going to improve the lives of the American people.
- So — can I say this, though? If we hadn’t had any kind of deadline, that change probably would never have surfaced until who knows when. And so, you know, I want to do this right, but the American people need some relief.
- You know, if you’ve got somebody out there saying not that — you know, let’s get the best bill possible, but instead says, you know, let’s try to beat this so we can gain political advantage, well, that’s not, you know, I think, what the American people expect.
- Q: Thank you, Mr. President. You said earlier that you wanted to tell the American people what’s in it for them. How will their family benefit from the health care reform? But experts say that in addition to the benefits that you’re pushing, there is going to have to be some sacrifice in order for there to be true cost-cutting measures, such as Americans giving up tests, referrals, choice, end-of-life care.
- When you describe health care reform, you don’t — understandably, you don’t talk about the sacrifices that Americans might have to make. Do you think — do you accept the premise that other than some tax increases on the wealthiest Americans, the American people are going to have to give anything up in order for this to happen?
- And — and — and just to — to raise a broader issue that I think has colored how we look at health care reform, let me just talk about deficit and debt, because part of what’s been happening in this debate is the American people are understandably queasy about the huge deficits and debt that we’re facing right now.
- We’re going to have to eliminate no-bid contracts. We’re going to have to do all kinds of reforms in our budgeting. But we’re also going to have to change health care. Otherwise, we can’t change that $7.1 trillion gap in the way that the American people want it to change.
- That’s a good example of what we’re trying to build for the American people. The same thing that Congress enjoys, which is they go, there’s a marketplace of different plans that they can access, depending on what’s best for their families.
- What’s the constraint on that? How can — how can you ensure that those costs aren’t being passed onto employers or passed onto employees, the American people, ordinary middle-class families, in a way that over time is going to make them broke? Well, part of the way is to make sure that there’s some competition out there.
- So — so that’s the idea. Now, to get to your — your original question, can I guarantee that there are going to be no changes in the health care delivery system? No. The whole point of this is to try to encourage changes that work for the American people and make them healthier.
- Those are changes that I think the American people want to see.
- "It's important that the president continues to remind the American people what's at stake, what's in it for them, why the status quo is unacceptable and unaffordable, and what must be done in terms of this issue to lay that foundation for long-term economic growth," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. "I don't think he can probably say that enough."
- “Can I guarantee that there are going to be no changes in the health care delivery system? No,” he said. “The whole point of this is to try to encourage changes that work for the American people and make them healthier.”
July 23, 2009
- But "the American people are understandably queasy about the huge deficits and debt that we're facing right now," said Obama.
- He addressed some of the nuances under questioning. “Can I guarantee that there are going to be no changes in the health care delivery system?” he said. “No. The whole point of this is to try to encourage changes that work for the American people and make them healthier.”
- "I think it will affect our standing with the American people if we don't do this as a party," Clyburn said afterward.
- SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio – President Barack Obama stepped up his us-against-them pitch for overhauling health care Thursday, saying the American people need it and must overcome resistance from opponents in Washington, whom he described vaguely as naysayers and skeptics.
- “Reform may be coming too soon for some in Washington,” Obama told hundreds who packed a high school gym in the Shaker Heights suburb of Cleveland. “But it’s not soon enough for the American people.”
- “I am not afraid of August, it’s a month,” Pelosi said ata news conference. “What I am interested in is the sooner thebetter to pass health care for the American people.”

- “What we have is a strong, practiced field infrastructure, which is gearing up because they now understand the stakes,” MoveOn’s Hogue said of the progressive movement. “In the August recess, we are going to see the full force of that pressure brought to bear on those who are on the wrong side of history, and an unrelenting chorus of voices calling for the undecideds to move on health care reform, a clean energy economy and the other urgent priorities of the American people.”

- “So because we want three Republicans to come along on this, we are going to betray what the American people want? I don’t think so,” Brown said. “I think, in the end, Republicans vote for this because they want to be on the side of history. … Just because Finance was slower doesn’t mean they are stronger, that their way, that their plan will carry the day. I don’t think it will.”
- “This is something that shouldn’t be rushed,” said SenateRepublican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “The last thingthe American people want is a do-over.”
