“I happen to be a person who does believe in an Almighty, and I believe the Almighty implants in each soul great human potential. And it’s in our interest to help people realize their full potential. And two ways to do so — and two practical ways to do so is for the United States to be involved in health issues, as well as education issues, and we are. And we’re spending a fair amount of taxpayers’ monies to achieve those objectives. And so one of my objectives is to explain to the American people, it’s in your interest to help people in our neighborhood become better educated, and it’s in your interest that we help people get good health care, because a healthy and educated and prosperous neighborhood is in the long-term interests of the United States.” REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
