I'm really excited about the prospect of a woman president of the United States.
Barack Obama
Image
We're showing that there's no excuse for other nations to come together, both developed and developing, to achieve a strong global climate agreement next year.
Barack Obama
Image
Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let’s use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together.
Barack Obama
Image
You [as a president] have to have a strong team around you. You have to have respect for institutions and the process to make good decisions because you are inherently reliant on other folks.
Barack Obama
Image
I believe that we have better ideas. But I also believe that good ideas don't matter if people don't hear them.
Barack Obama
Image
I want to deal with the homeless situation here in Washington, D.C. I think it is a travesty that we've got men - and increasingly women - families, across the street and the in shadow of this great capital, that shows a lack of concern, not just for the capital, but for American, when we are allowing something like that to happen.
Barack Obama
Image
All across the world, ...increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.
Barack Obama
Image
I think the American people can change Washington. But I think that it is not going to change, because somebody from on high directs that change.
Barack Obama
Image
The world must come together to confront climate change. There is little scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, famine and mass displacement that will fuel more conflict for decades.
Barack Obama
Image
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet.
Barack Obama
Image
America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.
Barack Obama
Image
We stand with women by fighting for economic security, protecting access to health care and supporting women's leadership across the country
Barack Obama
Image
We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. This happened because of you. Thank you.
Barack Obama
Image
It's the idea held by generations of citizens who believed that America is a constant work in progress who believed that loving this country requires more than singing its praises or avoiding uncomfortable truths. It requires the occasional disruption, the willingness to speak out for what's right, and shake up the status quo.
Barack Obama

Reflecting on his years in prison, Nelson Mandela wrote that there were dark moments that tested his faith in humanity, but he refused to give up.
Barack Obama

My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.
Barack Obama

At the dawn of the 21st century, where knowledge is literally power, where it unlocks the gates of opportunity and success, we all have responsibilities as parents, as librarians, as educators, as politicians, and as citizens to instill in our children a love of reading so that we can give them a chance to fulfill their dreams.
Barack Obama
Image
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.
Barack Obama
Image
There wasn't a time where I felt fearful that I couldn't make the best decisions possible.
Barack Obama
Image
Climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security.
Barack Obama
