Libraries have a special role to play in our knowledge economy. Your institutions have been and should be a place where parents and children come to read together and learn together. We should take our kids there more.

More quotes by Barack Obama
We're going to achieve our goal. We are going to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL.
Barack Obama
I believe, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that there is such a thing as being too late, and when it comes to climate change, that hour is almost upon us.
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
The president and the executive branch are always going to have greater latitude and greater authority when it comes to protecting America because sometimes you just have to respond quickly and not everything that is a danger can be publicized and be subject to open debate, but there have to be some guardrails.
Barack Obama
I think [Obamacare] will survive. Or it may be called something else. And as I said I don't don't mind.
Barack Obama
I don't want to jump the gun, [but] I will tell you, though, that my goal is to have the best possible government.
Barack Obama
There's no question that a lot of Americans on both the right and the left are expressing some fears and frustrations about the dislocations brought on by globalisation. Many of those frustrations are legitimate and they need to be addressed.
Barack Obama
Go back to - my first campaign for the United States Senate. I got a bunch of people now talking about inequality. But back then they sure weren't. Back then, folks were saying I was preaching class warfare. Now it's suddenly their campaign platform.
Barack Obama
For America to get more entangled militarily in Syria is a serious step, and we have to do so making absolutely certain that we know who we are helping that we're not putting arms in the hands of folks who eventually could turn them against us or allies in the region.
Barack Obama
Donald Trump seems to do a good job mentioning his own name.
Barack Obama
The private sector is doing fine.
Barack Obama
If poverty is a disease that infects the entire community in the form of unemployment and violence, failing schools and broken homes, then we can't just treat those symptoms in isolation . We have to heal that entire community.
Barack Obama
I think at times of significant stress people are going to be looking for something and they don't always know exactly what it is that they're looking for and they may opt for change even if they're not entirely confident what that change will bring.
Barack Obama
I think it's fair to say that my temperament is steady - and on the buoyant side.
Barack Obama
In sectors like energy, I haven't been arguing for more spending per se I've been arguing that it doesn't make sense for us to spend $4 billion subsidizing an oil industry that's mature and very profitable. We should be using that money to finance clean energy of the future.
Barack Obama
The very technologies that empower us to do great good can also be used to undermine us and inflict great harm.
Barack Obama
I am very proud of the fact I do not cheat when I'm playing golf.
Barack Obama
Oftentimes, misunderstandings and antagonism surfaces most strongly when economic times are tough. And that's not surprising. If everybody is working and feeling good and making money and buying a new house and a big screen TV, you're less worried about what other folks are doing.
Barack Obama
More than a building that houses books and data, the library represents a window to a larger world, the place where we've always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward and the human story forward.
Barack Obama
It is possible for leaders or regimes to be cruel, bigoted, twisted in their world views and still make rational calculations with respect to their limits and their self-preservation.
Barack Obama
