Missing "...that we can meet our challenges, but only by coming together across our differences. As he said shortly before he died, "It is wrong to waste the precious gift of time given to us on acrimony and division."
This true man of God spent his entire life helping people to find their way to common ground. That was, in fact, the project he was most involved with when he died, the commonground project to unite Catholics of different views. Hillary and I counted him as our friend, and we'll miss him very much.
So let us all strive to find that common ground where all Americans can stand in dignity and help one another make the most of their dreams, and let us be ready to share our strength, when our values and our interests demand it, with others around the world who need a hand to help themselves to reach their dreams.
Thanks for listening."

The President's Radio Address - The economy
Bill Clinton gave a radio address almost every week of his presidency, like Reagan had done. He was the first president to experiment with broadcasting over the internet, in the late 90's, but these talks were still mostly on the radio. These talks weren't given titles, so just the topic will be listed in the description.

Reagan liked the idea behind Roosevelt's "Fireside Chats," of speaking directly to the citizens about his policies, and current events, so he revived the practice in 1982. He made them more regular (once a week) and more consistent in length (about 5 minutes). Reagan gave one of these weekly addresses almost every week of his presidency, with a few breaks, and every president since him has continued the tradition in one form or another.
