The United States was the first country to recognize Israel in 1948, minutes after its declaration of independence, and the deep bonds of friendship between the U.S. and Israel remain as strong and unshakeable as ever.

More quotes by 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
One thing both men have in common is a love of golf and a shared knowledge of the word mulligan, which means a do-over to replace a lousy shot.
Barack Obama
Citizenship means standing up for everyone's right to vote.***
Barack Obama
One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.
Barack Obama
This is our first task-caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged.
Barack Obama
Ultimately, the challenges of the 21st century can't be met without collective action. Agreement will almost never be easy, and results won't always come quickly. But I am committed to respecting different points of view, and to forging a consensus instead of dictating our terms... That's how we will advance and uphold our ideals.
Barack Obama
Does that mean that all vestiges of past discrimination would be eliminated, that the income gap or the wealth gap or the education gap [between Afro-Americans and white] would be erased in five years or 10 years? Probably not, and so this is obviously a discussion we've had before when you talk about something like reparations.
Barack Obama
It could be another election where the alignments between Republicans and Democrats are different than they were this time and who a foreign country prefers.
Barack Obama
One of the issues the Democrats have to be clear on is the given population distribution across the country. We have to compete everywhere. We have to show up everywhere. We have to work at a grassroots level, something that's been a running thread in my career.
Barack Obama
No development strategy can be based only upon what comes out of the ground, nor can it be sustained while young people are out of work.
Barack Obama
You might be locked in a world not of your own making, her eyes said, but you still have a claim on how it is shaped. You still have responsibilities.
Barack Obama
This week I've travelled more than 15,000 miles from America to China to Burma to Australia. I have no idea what time it is right now.
Barack Obama
The challenges posed by threats like terrorism, proliferation, and cyber attacks are not going away any time soon, and for our intelligence community to be effective over the long haul, we must maintain the trust of the American people and people around the world.
Barack Obama
I think the most important thing is to take the long view on things. We live in such a 24/7, Twitter-fed, constant news cycle, and everything's a crisis, everything is terrible, everything is doomsday, everything is - if it doesn't get solved tomorrow, your presidency is going off the rails.
Barack Obama
The wort terrorist attack in American history also brought out the best in our country...We are United as Americans.
Barack Obama
There are people in Iran who have the same aspirations as people all around the world for a better life.
Barack Obama
There's no doubt that I'm a better president now than when I first took office. This is not a job where there's a manual, and over time you get a better sense of what's important, what's not, how to see around corners and anticipate problems, as opposed to just managing problems once they've arrived.
Barack Obama
We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
Barack Obama
I think at a certain age I became conscious of the power of words. And it was fairly late. I was kind of a goofball - but I was always subconsciously thinking about issues.
Barack Obama
We consume about 25 percent of the world's oil. We only have 2 percent of the reserves.
