More quotes by Barack Obama
I am who I am. You sort of get what you see with me.
Barack Obama
Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
Barack Obama
We are reminded that, in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but rather how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.
Barack Obama
I am a little jet lagged from my trip to Malaysia...The lengths we have to go to to get CNN coverage these days.
Barack Obama
That's when America soars, when we look out for one another and we take care of each other, when we root for one another's success, when we strive to do better and to be better than the generation that came before us and try to build something better for generations to come, that's why we do what we do. That's the whole point of public service.
Barack Obama
Some of Donald Trump's gifts that obviously allowed him to execute one of the biggest political upsets in history, those are ones that hopefully he will put to good use on behalf of all the American people.
Barack Obama
Rather than double-down on the top-down economics that let a fortunate few play by their own rules, let’s embrace an economic patriotism that says we rise or fall together, as one nation, and as one people.
Barack Obama
We've been able to organize the international community around it in ways that aren't going to go back.
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
People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better.
Barack Obama
Why can't I just eat my waffle?
Barack Obama
It's true that I have not been able to completely close Guantanamo, but we've drastically reduced the population from 700 or so to around 60 now.
Barack Obama
Keep guns out of inner cities-but also problem of morality.
Barack Obama
That's part of what I tried to describe to my team and supporters after the election, there was a lot of disappointment.
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
I have been in Washington for a while now, and most things don't surprise me. The fact that twenty 6-year-olds were gunned down in the most violent fashion possible and this town couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me.
Barack Obama
We're not going to baby sit a civil war.
Barack Obama
Here at home, we will strengthen our defenses but not succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifices the open society and liberties and values that we cherish as Americans, because great and proud nations don't hunker down and hide behind walls of suspicion and mistrust.
Barack Obama
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.
Barack Obama
It's up to [Angela Merkel] whether she wants to stand again and then ultimately, it'll be up to the German people to decide what the future holds. If I were here and I were German and I had a vote, I might support her.
Barack Obama
