More quotes by Barack Obama
The time to fix our broken immigration system is now... We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace... But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America... Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should.
Barack Obama
Generally speaking in America, a lot of environmentally problematic facilities tend to be located in places where poor folks live because wealthier folks have the ability to say, not in my backyard.
Barack Obama
[American Citizenship] captures the enduring idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations
Barack Obama
I, more than anything, obviously the presidency is the people, and it's been interesting the emotions in the last few months. What you realize is that you may never have the team that is together in the same way, under the same pressures, and the attachments that you make to folks from your chief of staff down to.
Barack Obama
In America, we've set up a system whereby when you take on college debt, you will never have to pay more than 10 percent of your income in repayments. And what that will do is make sure that you will never be prevented from going to school just because of money. We want to make sure that you and others like you can succeed.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
Barack Obama
If the global economy is unresponsive to people who feel left behind, if inequality continues to grow, then we could end up seeing more and more of these divisions arise throughout advanced economies around the world.
Barack Obama
The Iranian regime supports violent extremists and challenges us across the region. It pursues a nuclear capability that could spark a dangerous arms race and raise the prospect of a transfer of nuclear know-how to terrorists. Its president denies the Holocaust and threatens to wipe Israel off the map. The danger from Iran is grave, it is real.
Barack Obama
One of the gratifying things, I think, about the end of my presidency even though admittedly my successor ran against a lot of what we stood for, is when you look at the individual issues and the progress that we've made on a lot of those issues, we got the support of a pretty decent majority.
Barack Obama
I've been to 57 states.
Barack Obama
Please proceed, Governor.
Barack Obama
My question would be whether there is active persecution of atheists.
Barack Obama
Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission. Extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals.
Barack Obama
Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.
Barack Obama
It should be the power of our vote, not the size of our bank accounts, that drives our democracy
Barack Obama
I actually believe in redistribution (of wealth)
Barack Obama
That's silly talk... Talk to my wife. She'll tell me I need to learn to just put my socks on the hamper.
Barack Obama
