  1. I'm treating this last State of the Union just like my first - because I'm still just as hungry. I hope you tune in, because it's for you.

  2. So proud of you, Scott. How long is the delay up there? See you when you get back!

  3. About time, Denis! Welcome. Let me know if you need any pointers.

  4. The gun lobby may be holding Congress hostage, but they can't hold America hostage. We can't accept this carnage in our communities.

  5. What's often ignored in this debate is that a majority of gun owners agree with commonsense steps to save lives.

  6. We will keep guns out of the wrong hands, enforce our guns laws, and ensure those with serious mental illnesses get treatment.

  7. Tomorrow, I'm taking action to reduce gun violence and save lives - protecting the Second Amendment and our kids.

  8. Guns now kill as many people as cars in almost half of the U.S. We can't stop every act of violence, but we can save lives if we act.

  9. Each year, more than 30,000 American lives are cut short by guns - two-thirds coming from suicides. Too many Americans have lost loved ones.

  10. From the Obama family to yours, Merry Christmas! And a special thank you to all our men and women in uniform this holiday season.

  11. I'm proud of the for taking a stand against gun violence. Sympathy for victims isn't enough – change requires all of us speaking up.

  12. Zaevion Dobson died saving three friends from getting shot. He was a hero at 15. What's our excuse for not acting?

  17. Herzlichen Glückwunsch to my friend and Time's Person of the Year, Angela Merkel! Thanks for your moral leadership and strong partnership.

  18. 150 years since the abolition of slavery, a turning point in our history. Progress - that's our story.

  19. Addressing climate change takes all of us, especially the private sector going all-in on clean energy worldwide.

  20. Good news: the world now adds more clean power capacity each year than dirtier fossil-fuel based power capacity.
