Barack Obama
I have been in Washington for a while now, and most things don't surprise me. The fact that twenty 6-year-olds were gunned down in the most violent fashion possible and this town couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me.
Barack Obama
Constitution is a living document no strict constructionism.
Barack Obama
Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.

There are some exceptions: Chicago, my hometown, in particular. But overall in the country this is a much safer place than it used to be.
Barack Obama
It's important to know that the vast majority of people who were excited in 2008 are still really enthusiastic. We've got more volunteers now than ever, and they're engaged, they're motivated, they're not paying attention to the ups and downs of polls or Washington.
Barack Obama
I think we need missile defense. But I want to make sure it works, that it's cost effective, that the technologies are operable, that it's our best possible strategy, and that hasn't been shown.
Barack Obama

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
We don't have this huge footprint, we are less likely to be targeted as, you know, occupiers [in Afghanistan and Iraq].
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.
