Barack Obama
I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me - so am I.
Barack Obama
We are now at a point where because we in fact have been successful at stopping a number of plots, a threat has evolved. We do see these lone-wolf actors. We do see these encouragements for troubled individuals to pick up a gun and act out of this ideology.
Barack Obama
There are gonna be a core set of values that shouldn't be up for debate. Should be our north star.
Barack Obama
[Afghanistan and Iraq] are still countries that are fragile enough that we're gonna have to partner with them in some way.
