More quotes by Barack Obama
The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.
Barack Obama
I think it was not a bad idea to wrap Barack Obama in the mantle of Teddy Roosevelt. He`s been assuming a sort of progressive mantle, and he ticked off some large and systemic problems that this country faces.
Barack Obama
Now, at times this issue has tended to degenerate into an 'either-or' type of debate. Either we protect our people from terror or we protect our most cherished principles. But that is a false choice. It asks too little of us and assumes too little about America.
Barack Obama
If we want to really reduce foreign influence on our elections, then we better think about how to make sure that our political process, our political dialogue is stronger than it's been.
Barack Obama
I would love to see an America where race is understood in the same way that the ethnic diversity of the white population is understood.

Barack Obama
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools.
Barack Obama
The emotions between the races could never be pure even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.
Barack Obama
Here in Europe, I think that there are a lot of young people who forget the issues that were at stake during the Cold War.
Barack Obama
If everything seems to be the same and no distinctions are made, then we won't know what to protect. We won't know what to fight for.
Barack Obama
America is a strong and resilient country. And I know we will succeed, if we put aside partisanship and politics and work together as one nation.
Barack Obama
What you have to do is to look at what's going to keep our economic growth going, what's going to make sure jobs are being created.
Barack Obama
It's true that I have not been able to completely close Guantanamo, but we've drastically reduced the population from 700 or so to around 60 now.
Barack Obama
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
Barack Obama
I can guarantee that not because I give Attorney General [Loretta] Lynch a directive. That is institutionally how we have always operated. I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations [On Hillary Clinton].
Barack Obama
I think that Canada is one of the most impressive countries in the world, the way it has managed a diverse population, a migrant economy. The natural beauty of Canada is extraordinary. Obviously there is enormous kinship between the United States and Canada, and the ties that bind our two countries together are things that are very important to us.
Barack Obama
We have to deal with the 11 million individuals who are here illegally. The bill that Senator [Marco] Rubio put forward, I think is a great place to start.
Barack Obama
