More quotes by Barack Obama
A budget is more than just a series of numbers on a page it is an embodiment of our values.
Barack Obama
Here's what I can tell the American people: 95 percent of you will get a tax cut. And if you make less than $250,000, less than a quarter-million dollars a year, then you will not see one dime's worth of tax increase.
Barack Obama
Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.
Barack Obama
This massacre in Orlando is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school or in a house of worship or a movie theater or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision, as well.
Barack Obama
When I was a kid, I inhaled. Frequently. That was the point.
Barack Obama
[ William Ayers] is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
Barack Obama
I don't think [pot] is more dangerous than alcohol.
Barack Obama
Change has come to America.
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
When I've sent young men and women into harm's way, I always understand that that is the last resort, not the first resort.
Barack Obama
My particular passion for Lincoln dates back from my earliest memories of politics.
Barack Obama
And so our goal on health care is, if we can get, instead of health care costs going up 6 percent a year, it's going up at the level of inflation, maybe just slightly above inflation, we've made huge progress. And by the way, that is the single most important thing we could do in terms of reducing our deficit. That's why we did it.
Barack Obama
I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.
Barack Obama
If we are enforcing what should be the rules around Medicare and making sure the people are getting the bang for the buck, it's not going to be possible for insurance companies to simply pass on those costs to Medicare recipients, because ultimately it's Uncle Sam that's paying for those services anyway.
Barack Obama
[J]ust because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right.
Barack Obama
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
Barack Obama
We have come from a time of the large-scale, planned, Al Qaeda-style attacks, to the encouragement of lone wolves: Fort Hood, Chattanooga. To the encouragement of people to act on their own.
Barack Obama
There are few things in life that are harder to find and more important to keep than love. Well, love and a birth certificate.
Barack Obama
Angela Merkel has been an extraordinary partner for me and for the United States throughout my presidency.
Barack Obama
99.9% of plumbers make less than a quarter million dollars a year, and I'm going to give Joe a break whether he wants it or not.
