More quotes by Barack Obama
What is the empathy deficit? The inability of people to stand in other folks shoes. It's hard to empathize with people who have different values than you
Barack Obama
Does that mean that all vestiges of past discrimination would be eliminated, that the income gap or the wealth gap or the education gap [between Afro-Americans and white] would be erased in five years or 10 years? Probably not, and so this is obviously a discussion we've had before when you talk about something like reparations.
Barack Obama
Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination.
Barack Obama
If we truly believe in our public schools, then we have a moral responsibility to do better - to break the either-or mentality around school reform, and embrace a both-and mentality. Good schools will require both the structural reform and the resources necessary to prepare our kids for the future.
Barack Obama
I don't think there's a lot of dispute for this. You can argue that we didn't get everything done that we wanted to get done, but I can make a really strong argument, and I think prove, that by almost every measure the country's better off now than when I started.
Barack Obama
Africa doesn't need strongmen, it needs strong institutions.
Barack Obama
It's very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty that is perpetrated on animals.
Barack Obama
Of course, there is no question that Libya - and the world - will be better off with Gaddafi out of power. I, along with many other world leaders, have embraced that goal, and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.
Barack Obama
Nothing will deter us from building the future we want for our children. What greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it.
Barack Obama
American values and legal traditions do not permit the indefinite detention of people beyond our borders.
Barack Obama
Ultimately peer pressure can lead people to bully, but peer pressure can also say bullying is not acceptable.
Barack Obama
What I've said to [my team] is, Look, we ran our leg of the race and we did a darn good job.
Barack Obama
I do think that all politicians today have to be more attentive to people wanting to be heard, wanting to have more control over their lives.
Barack Obama
What is true, though, is now we've got a bunch of videos that whatever side of the issue you're on, raises the temperature on these issues and makes people really focused .
Barack Obama
I do think that I have a better sense of how military action can result in unintended consequences.
Barack Obama
I find it amusing that those who helped to authorize and engineer the biggest foreign policy disaster in our generation are now criticizing me for making sure that we are on the right battlefield and not the wrong battlefield in the war against terrorism.
Barack Obama
Since I'm the president and Democrats have controlled the House and the Senate, it's understandable that people are saying, you know, 'What have you done?'
Barack Obama
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
I don't take a dime of their [lobbyist] money, and when I am president, they won't find a job in my White House.
Barack Obama
America leads - not with bluster, but with persistent, steady resolve.
Barack Obama
