Barack Obama
Together we can change our culture for the better by ending violence against women and girls, artists have a unique power to change minds and attitudes and get us thinking and talking about what matters, and all of us, in our lives, have the power to set an example. Join our campaign to stop this violence.
Barack Obama
Michelle [Obama] never fully took to the scrutiny. I mean, she's thrived as a first lady, but it's not her preference.
Barack Obama
As a practical matter, it is hard to think of any society in human history in which a majority population has said that as a consequence of historic wrongs, we are now going to take a big chunk of the nation's resources over a long period of time to make that right.
Barack Obama
But if you - if what - the reports are true, what they're saying is, is that as a consequence of us getting 30 million additional people health care, at the margins that's going to increase our costs, we knew that.
Barack Obama
[J]ust because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right.
Barack Obama
Hope is the bedrock of this nation. The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.
Barack Obama
I think it is important that we are targeting HIV/AIDS resources into the communities where we're seeing the highest growth rates. That means education and prevention, particularly with young people.
Barack Obama
If we got there and we looked up and we said, You know what? Black folks are still doing a little bit worse off than whites, but it's not like it was 20 years ago, then we can have a discussion about how do we get that last little bit. But that's a high-class problem to have.
Barack Obama
No single nation should pick and choose which nations holds nuclear weapons. And that's why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons.
Barack Obama
I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.
Barack Obama
If we have a phased redeployment where we're as careful getting out as we were careless getting in, then there's not reason why we shouldn't be able to prevent the wholesale slaughter I think some people have suggested might occur.
Barack Obama
I didn't set a red line, the world set a red line
Barack Obama
That's part of what I tried to describe to my team and supporters after the election, there was a lot of disappointment.
Barack Obama
There are legitimate concerns and anxieties that the forces of globalisation are leaving too many people behind - and we have to take those concerns seriously and address them. But the answer isn't to turn inward and embrace protectionism. We can't just walk away from trade.
Barack Obama
A better politics is one where we appeal to each other’s basic decency instead of our basest fears.
Barack Obama
The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.
Barack Obama
Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.
Barack Obama
I'm personally very grateful to my many friends in the Greek-American community, sons and daughters of Greece who have found success in every walk of American life.
Barack Obama
I have to say that my kids, like every child in America, is completely absorbed with Harry Potter. And so, I have gotten sucked into it, too I can't wait for the next one to come out. I am trying to figure out what happens with Harry and Voldemort. So we have been reading that.
Barack Obama
