So i focus a lot of my time on relationships with countries who were key economic engines in the world. Whether it was brazil or china or europe or the middle east or india, i try to spend some of my time in that regard.

President obama created an Election Commission to reduce voting problems at polling places. After the release of their report the commission met with the president. I just want to say thank you publicly to all the wonderful people here who have served on the president ial commission on Election Administration.

Not quite 7,000 words. It was a little longer than average in terms of word count. The speech was interrupted 83 times for applause, according to a tally by the national journal. There was no notable disruption in the audience this year, no moment like a republican congressman yelling you lie the way congressman joe wilson did during the joint address to congress back in 2009 there was no moment like a Supreme Court justice muttering a rebuttal to the president from the rows up front the way Justice Samuel alito did in 2010.
