[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

This massacre in Orlando is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school or in a house of worship or a movie theater or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision, as well.
Barack Obama

One thing I don't like is when you disrespect the law.
Barack Obama

I want to reform the tax code so that it's simple, fair, and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250,000 - the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was president the same rate we had when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest surplus in history, and a lot of millionaires to boot.

When it comes to crime, the violent crime rate in America has been lowered during my presidency and any time in the last three, four decades.

Let's not play games. I was suggesting - you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith.

Here's what I can tell the American people: 95 percent of you will get a tax cut. And if you make less than $250,000, less than a quarter-million dollars a year, then you will not see one dime's worth of tax increase.

I bowled a 129... It was like the Special Olympics or something!
Barack Obama

Arne Duncan is done more to bring our educational system, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the 21st century than anyone else.
Barack Obama

To all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.
Barack Obama
Image
They, and we, are the legacies of an unbroken chain of proud men and women who served their country with honor, who waged war so that we might know peace, who braved hardship so that we might know opportunity, who paid the ultimate price so that we might know freedom.
Barack Obama

If we’re going to have arguments, let’s have arguments — but let’s make them debates worthy of this body and worthy of this country.
Barack Obama
Image
Here at home, we will strengthen our defenses but not succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifices the open society and liberties and values that we cherish as Americans, because great and proud nations don't hunker down and hide behind walls of suspicion and mistrust.
Barack Obama
Image
The forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us.
Barack Obama

Winston Churchill used to say that we, Americans, try every other option before we finally do the right thing. After everything else is exhausted we eventually do the right thing and I think that's true for Congress as well. And it's important for Americans to remember that politics has always been messy.
Barack Obama

I'm blown away. I'm flabbergasted the president [Barack Obama] made the phone call to Rouhani after 30-plus, `79, 33 years or so. And there's a reason we haven't negotiated with Iran, because they're state-sponsored terrorists. They're the central bank for terrorism around the world.
Barack Obama

He described to me how crocodiles kill more people than sharks. There are just a lot of things in Australia that can kill you.

I get a thick book full of death, destruction, strife, and chaos. That's what I take with my morning tea.
