More quotes by Barack Obama
What I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice.
Barack Obama
People are discouraged from voting and part of what is important for Latino citizens is to make your voice heard, because you're not just speaking for yourself. You're speaking for family members, friends, classmates of yours in school.
Barack Obama
If we're serious about building an economy that lasts, we have got to get serious about education. We are going to have to pick up our games and raise our standards.
Barack Obama
I make no apologies for us wanting to do this [bombing Iraq and Syria] appropriately and in a way that is consistent with American values.
Barack Obama
It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.

Barack Obama
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week.

Barack Obama

Barack Obama
It is possible for leaders or regimes to be cruel, bigoted, twisted in their world views and still make rational calculations with respect to their limits and their self-preservation.
Barack Obama
I can guarantee that not because I give Attorney General [Loretta] Lynch a directive. That is institutionally how we have always operated. I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations [On Hillary Clinton].
Barack Obama
The dollar is the reserve currency of the world.
Barack Obama
People who have health insurance are benefiting in all sorts of ways that they may not be aware of, everything from no longer having lifetime limits on the claims that they can make to seniors getting prescription drug discounts under Medicare to free mammograms.
Barack Obama
More broadly, Prime Minister Lee [Hsien Loong] and I will work to advance the US-Singapore partnership across the board. We're committed to sustaining the dynamism of our economies with the Trans-Pacific Partnership - the highest-standard trade agreement ever - which will support trade and innovation in both our countries.
Barack Obama
Our environment is too important to neglect and it's time for the federal government to focus on real solutions and live up to their promises.
Barack Obama
Don't get cynical. Don't ever think you can't make a difference.
Barack Obama
I'll turn the page on a growing empire of classified information. We'll protect sources and methods, but we won't use sources and methods to hide the truth.
Barack Obama
I try to explain to them about the aloha spirit. And it's that spirit that I am absolutely convinced is what America is looking for right now.
Barack Obama
We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it - not by turning it over to Wall Street.
Barack Obama
