Image
One faction of one party, in one house of Congress, in one branch of government, doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election.
Barack Obama
Image
I think it's useful to keep in mind I've been now President for over seven years and gun sales don't seem to have suffered during that time.
Barack Obama
Image
We can rattle our sabers all we want but, realistically, we don't have troops for an invasion [Iran] and surgical strikes aren't going to work.
Barack Obama
Image
There is no shame in confusion or fear. There was only shame in the silence fear had produced. . . . It was the silence that betrayed us.
Barack Obama
Image
I think, as you get older, that's when your ambitions become peculiar.
Barack Obama
Image
If you were president 50 years ago, the tragedy in Syria might not even penetrate what the American people were thinking about on a day to day basis. Today, they're seeing vivid images of a child in the aftermath of a bombing.
Barack Obama
Image
The most frustrated and most stymied it is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense, gun-safety laws. Even in the face of repeated mass killings.
Barack Obama
Image
Try to be as honest as possible.
Barack Obama
Image
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
Image
For the young people here: practicality is a good thing. There are times where compromise is necessary. That's part of wisdom. But it's also important to hang on to what you believe.
Barack Obama
Image
Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values.
Barack Obama
Image
Only a handful of men and women leave an imprint on the conscience of a nation and on the history that they helped shape.
Barack Obama
Image
It was young people who stubbornly insisted on justice, stubbornly refused to accept the world as it is that transformed not just the country but transformed the world.
Barack Obama
Image
I think we should all hope for a Russia that is successful, where its people are employed and the economy is growing and they are having good relationships with their neighbors.
Barack Obama
Image
I don't think [pot] is more dangerous than alcohol.
Barack Obama
Image
It's no wonder that America's engagement in the region has strong, sustained, bipartisan support. So I'll be handing my successor a strong foundation - including closer ties with Singapore - on which to continue building, and I'm optimistic that will happen.
Barack Obama
Image
No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President, I never will.
Barack Obama
Image
The other thing is going to be me being able to show not just the American people or the Israeli people but the world that, in fact, we have mechanisms in place that will prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
Barack Obama
Image
We've said to the Iranians all along . . . we still remain open to diplomacy. But it's been very clear that the Iranians don't want to engage with us.
Barack Obama

Our stories may be singular, but our destination is shared.
