More quotes by Barack Obama
It’s not that I want to punish your success. I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success, too.

Barack Obama
Stock market risk is ok, but not for Social Security.
Barack Obama
And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.
Barack Obama
Sometimes Hillary Clinton doesn't get the credit she deserves. But the fact is, Hillary is steady, and Hillary is true.
Barack Obama
I do not believe being gay or lesbian is a choice.
Barack Obama
I think at times of significant stress people are going to be looking for something and they don't always know exactly what it is that they're looking for and they may opt for change even if they're not entirely confident what that change will bring.
Barack Obama
We are the party of Roosevelt. We are the party of Kennedy. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Don't tell me that Democrats won't keep us safe.
Barack Obama

After I received the news, Malia walked in and said, Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it is Bo's birthday! And then Sasha added, Plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up. So it's good to have kids to keep things in perspective.
Barack Obama
I get letters from [people getting insurance] right now. You saved my child's life. I did not have to sell my home when my wife got sick. And that is what, as a policy maker, I'm trying to achieve during the short period of time that I'm here.
Barack Obama
You know, there are certain things that make for good sound bites but don't always translate into good policy.
Barack Obama
Whenever I write a letter to a family who has lost a loved one in Iraq, or read an email from a constituent who has dropped out of college because her student aid has been cut, I'm reminded that the actions of those in power have enormous consequences--a price that they themselves almost never have to pay.
Barack Obama
