More quotes by Barack Obama
The globe is shrinking, the information age is bringing a lot of changes. People are anxious about their future and their children's futures.
Barack Obama
Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity, until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country.
Barack Obama
[People] are looking for some means of control and what that means is is that the politics in all of our countries is gonna require us to manage technology and global integration and all these demographic shifts in a way that makes people feel more control, that gives them more confidence in their future.
Barack Obama
How you staff, particularly the chief of staff, the national security adviser, your White House counsel, how you set up a process in the system to surface information and generate options for a president, understanding that ultimately the president is going to be the final decision-maker. That's something that has to be attended to right away.
Barack Obama
we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities
Barack Obama
That's when America soars, when we look out for one another and we take care of each other, when we root for one another's success, when we strive to do better and to be better than the generation that came before us and try to build something better for generations to come, that's why we do what we do. That's the whole point of public service.
Barack Obama
Winston Churchill used to say that we, Americans, try every other option before we finally do the right thing. After everything else is exhausted we eventually do the right thing and I think that's true for Congress as well. And it's important for Americans to remember that politics has always been messy.
Barack Obama
Arne Duncan is done more to bring our educational system, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the 21st century than anyone else.
Barack Obama
Too often, we have failed to enforce international norms when it's inconvenient to do so.
Barack Obama
What I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all - the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.
Barack Obama
America at its best is inclusive and not exclusive.
Barack Obama
There are always things that I think I wish I could have done better.
Barack Obama
I am encouraged by the president-elect's [Donald Trump] insistence that NATO is a commitment that does not change. And his full commitment to NATO as the foundation for our international security I think is very important.
Barack Obama
[ William Ayers] is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
Barack Obama
The problem was, and we saw some of this in the immigration-reform issues as well, was they hadn't done sufficient homework to know that I didn't have all the capacity they thought I did in order to just execute this through the stroke of a pen.
Barack Obama
But you see, a rich country like America can perhaps afford to be stupid.
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
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools.
Barack Obama
If you're looking for the safe choice, you shouldn't be supporting a black guy named Barack Obama to be the next leader of the free world.
Barack Obama
Companies in Mexico are not going to do well if they don't have some connection to not just markets, but also suppliers and technology from the United States.
