More quotes by Barack Obama
Over more than a decade, Iran had moved ahead with its nuclear program. And before the deal, it had installed nearly 20,000 centrifuges that could enrich uranium for a nuclear bomb.
Barack Obama
I was reminded that it is my obligation not only as an elected official in a pluralistic society, but also as a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided.
Barack Obama
Not much happens in Russian Federation without Vladimir Putin.
Barack Obama
Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay, but we can honor their sacrifice.
Barack Obama
Of course, there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power. I, along with many other world leaders, have embraced that goal, and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
Some people in D.C. talk about me like a dog.
Barack Obama
Nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky.
Barack Obama
Although Israel was founded based on the historic Jewish homeland and the need to have a Jewish homeland, Israeli democracy has been premised on everybody in the country being treated equally and fairly. And I think that that is what's best about Israeli democracy.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama

Barack Obama
I believe that if we stop talking at one another and start talking with one another, we can get a lot done.
Barack Obama
We've got to identify new strategies to use cleaner energy, because that is a recipe for reducing the overall amount of pollution that's out there.
Barack Obama
The Cold War has been over for a long time. I'm not interested in having battles that, frankly, started before I was born.
Barack Obama
Our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn't have much to say about how they'd make it right. They want your vote, but they don't want you to know their plan.
Barack Obama
Congress has become so dysfunctional that more and more of a burden is placed on the agencies to fill in the gaps. And the gaps get bigger and bigger because they're not constantly refreshed and tweaked.
Barack Obama
It's time to stop being ambivalent. ... They (groups like the Islamic State) have no ideology beyond violence and chaos and the slaughter of innocent people.
Barack Obama
Nobody said democracies supposed to be easy. It's hard. And in a big country like America, it probably should be hard.
Barack Obama
It is time to do away with work place policies that belong in a Mad Men episode.
Barack Obama
We cannot allow internet service providers to restrict the best access or to pick winners and losers in the online marketplace for services and ideas.
