Barack Obama
Sometimes when these kinds of things happen, it can seem a little bit too much to bear. But what I want the people of Louisiana know is that you're not alone on this.

Barack Obama
We are in what we hope is an intensive diplomatic phase now. It will not be open-ended.
Barack Obama
It is absolutely important that we have a unified alliance and that we explain to the Russians that you cannot be a 21st-century superpower, or power, and act like a 20th-century dictatorship.
