QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Addresses National Governors Association Meeting
The State Dining Room
11:05 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Thanks for coming. I enjoyed it last night, I hope you did, too. It was a lot of fun. And thank you all for giving me a chance to come by. What I thought I'd do is say a few things and then answer some questions, if you have any.
We have got a chance to achieve some big things for the country, to lay the stage for peace and to keep America in the lead. And these are goals that both Republicans and Democrats should share. You know, there's a lot of politics here in Washington, so it's -- when you say, well, you know, it's a Republican goal to make America competitive, I just don't agree with that. It should be a national goal. It's a national goal to protect our people. And, therefore, it requires a lot of collaboration throughout all aspects of government. And no better collaborators to implement good policy than our governors. So thanks for giving me a chance to come and share some insights with you.
