More quotes by Barack Obama
There is no shame in confusion or fear. There was only shame in the silence fear had produced. . . . It was the silence that betrayed us.
Barack Obama
There isn't anyone who can't serve ... nobody who can't help somebody else.
Barack Obama
The arc of the moral universe may bend towards justice, but it doesn't bend on its own.
Barack Obama
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
Barack Obama
So here's what I want you to know, and here's what I want all our men and women in uniform to know: Because of you, we are ending these wars in a way that will make America stronger and the world more secure. Because of you.
Barack Obama
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

Barack Obama
Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.
Barack Obama
Writing has been an important exercise to clarify what I believe, what I see, what I care about, what my deepest values are. The process of converting a jumble of thoughts into coherent sentences makes you ask tougher questions.
Barack Obama
The point is ISIL leaders cannot hide. And our next message to them is simple - you are next.
Barack Obama
There are certain things we can only do together. There are certain things only a union can do. Only a union could harness the courage of our pioneers to settle the American west, which is why President Abraham Lincoln passed a Homestead Act giving a tract of land to anyone seeking a stake in our growing economy.
Barack Obama
[White House is] the finest prison in the world.
Barack Obama
The problem is, that we've got a position, often times by the NRA that says any regulation whatsoever is the camel's nose under the tent. And that, I think, is not where the American people are at.
Barack Obama
What I want to try to do is unify the two wings of the Democratic Party. What's considered the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party - the more centrist wing of the party. I think we can craft an approach that is more American, pro-worker, pro-business, pro-growth.
Barack Obama
Our alliance with our NATO partners has been a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy for nearly 70 years, in good times and in bad and through presidents of both parties because the United States has a fundamental interest in Europe's stability and security.
Barack Obama
I mentioned charter schools, and experimenting with our school system, to make it work. I think that's something we really have to pay attention to.
Barack Obama
The program grew out of a desire to address a gap identified after 9/11 ... The program does not involve the NSA examining the phone records of ordinary Americans. Rather, it consolidates these records into a database that the government can query if it has a specific lead - phone records that the companies already retain for business purposes.
Barack Obama
I do think that you're starting to see young people pay attention to some longterm issues that they feel Washington has neglected.
