More quotes by Barack Obama
Health care has become a proxy for a broader set of issues about how much government should be involved in our economy, particularly coming off a huge economic crisis.
Barack Obama
When you're out of work and you can't buy a home or you've lost your home and you're worried about paying your bills, then you become more worried about what other folks are doing. And sometimes that organizes itself around kind of a tribal attitude, and issues of race become more prominent.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama

Barack Obama
The old rules may say we can’t protect our environment and promote economic growth at the same time, but in America, we’ve always used new technologies - we’ve used science we’ve used research and development and discovery to make the old rules obsolete.
Barack Obama
How do we in the African American community build a culture in which we are saying to our kids, Here's what it takes to succeed. Here's the sacrifices you need to make to be able to get ahead. Here's how we support each other. Here's how we look out for each other.
Barack Obama
It is time to put in place tough, new common-sense rules of the road so that our financial market rewards drive and innovation, and punishes short-cuts and abuse.
Barack Obama
The globe is shrinking, the information age is bringing a lot of changes. People are anxious about their future and their children's futures.
Barack Obama
The first thing I would do would be to move forward with an agenda to make sure that we give D.C. the opportunity to elect its own representatives and have some political power on Capitol Hill.
Barack Obama
I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, when everyone plays by the same rules.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
You like pie? I like pie.
Barack Obama
People call me a socialist sometimes. But, no, you gotta meet real socialists. You'll have a sense of what a socialist is.
Barack Obama
When George Bush came into office, we had surpluses. And now we have half-a-trillion-dollar deficit annually. When George Bush came into office, our national debt was around $5 trillion. It's now over $10 trillion. We've almost doubled it.
Barack Obama
