More quotes by 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
Write anything you want because we'll never be heard from again.
Barack Obama
My administration will be the most transparent in history
Barack Obama
But another thing I know is this — we can’t steer ourselves out of this crisis by heading in the same, disastrous direction. We can’t change direction with a new driver who wants to follow the same old map. And that’s what this election is all about.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
Sanctions alone could not stop Iran's nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table.
Barack Obama
You know, sometimes I'll go to an 8th-grade graduation and there's all that pomp and circumstance and gowns and flowers. And I think to myself, it's just 8th grade ... An 8th-grade education doesn't cut it today. Let's give them a handshake and tell them to get their butts back in the library!
Barack Obama
We learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off - then we go forward, with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens.
Barack Obama
I don`t know if Donald Trump`s ever been to an actual polling place, but, you know, he doesn`t even worry if what he says is true. This is just about him worried that he`s losing.
Barack Obama
Every woman should be in control of the decisions that affect her own health.
Barack Obama
There is nothing wrong with our country, there is something wrong with our politics...When this country is operating off a common ground, nobody can stop us. But when we're divided, then we end up having a whole lot of self-inflicted problems.
Barack Obama
America leads - not with bluster, but with persistent, steady resolve.
Barack Obama
We can make sure that people who don't have health insurance can buy into an insurance pool that gives them better bargaining power.
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
Each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness. No one deserves to be bullied.
Barack Obama
Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny ... and everything in between. But he was one of a kind.
