Quote

Action expresses priorities.

The president's priority is to protect the safety and security of the American people. That's the physical security of the American people as well as the prosperity of the American people.

The priority is to put bills on the president's desk that will move the country forward.

If Mr. Obama wants to get things done, he must recognize that in Washington only the president has the power to make the first big move.

Of course we need action, but it should be Just action.

Responsibility demands action, and dealing with the immediate threat must naturally be a top priority.

Presidents quickly realize that while a single act might destroy the world they live in, no one single decision can make life suddenly better or can turn history around for the good.

We want the president to act to keep America safe.

It should be remembered that the president cannot, by executive order, do things that affects the public at large unless there is some Congressional basis for it.

I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.
