More quotes by Barack Obama
The fact that there is a robust debate in Congress is good. The fact that the debate sometimes seems unanchored to facts is not so good.
Barack Obama
My little girls can break my heart. They can make me cry just looking at them eating their string beans.
Barack Obama
With respect to the pledge I made that if you like your plan you can keep it. The way I put that forward unequivocally ended up not being accurate.
Barack Obama
[Donald Trump] ran an extraordinarily unconventional campaign and it resulted in the biggest political upset in perhaps modern political history. American history.
Barack Obama
I don't mind cleaning up the mess that some other folks made, that's what I signed up to do
Barack Obama
But if you - if what - the reports are true, what they're saying is, is that as a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that's going to increase our costs, we knew that.
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
We don't quit. I don't quit. Let's seize this moment.
Barack Obama
Health care got done because there were a lot of people out there who aren't professional politicians, but are citizens, who pushed for it even when the politics was hard.
Barack Obama
It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.
Barack Obama
Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.
Barack Obama
I'm measuring my actions against that inner voice that for me at least is audible, is active, it tells me where I think I'm on track and where I think I'm off track.
Barack Obama
When I ran for the U.S. Senate the assumption was that anyone's name that was close to Osama doesn't stand a chance. So if somebody thought that tacking on Hussein in there would be a killer, then I think they underestimate the American people and the seriousness of the problems we face.
Barack Obama
The trade agreement itself does have labor and environmental protections, but we have to stand for human rights and we have to make sure that violence isn't being perpetrated against workers who are just trying to organize for their rights.
Barack Obama
I can think about what [Mahatma] Gandhi said or [Martin Luther] King said about violence begetting violence, and still be true to my job by asking myself the question whenever we're confronted with a situation where some may be arguing for military action: Will this actually result in America being safer, or the most lives being saved?
Barack Obama
At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It insists on the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God's edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one's life on such uncompromising commitment may be sublime to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.
Barack Obama
We've got to change our regulatory system.
Barack Obama
The greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another
Barack Obama
We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mails. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets.
Barack Obama
Write anything you want because we'll never be heard from again.
Barack Obama
