We are in what we hope is an intensive diplomatic phase now. It will not be open-ended.
Barack Obama
I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.
Barack Obama
Germany, South Korea - these are all countries that are investing massively in education. We've got to do the same thing in America.
Barack Obama
I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care plan.
Barack Obama
Now that Iran's actions have been verified, it can begin to receive relief from certain nuclear sanctions and gain access to its own money that had been frozen.
Barack Obama
And so our goal on health care is, if we can get, instead of health care costs going up 6 percent a year, it's going up at the level of inflation, maybe just slightly above inflation, we've made huge progress. And by the way, that is the single most important thing we could do in terms of reducing our deficit. That's why we did it.
Barack Obama
Obviously [my daughters] - and Michelle - have made a lot of sacrifices on behalf of my cockamamie ideas, the running for office and things.
Barack Obama
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
Barack Obama
You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.
Barack Obama
If you have health care, my plan will lower your premiums. If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves.
Barack Obama
Guaranteed, full stop, nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department, because nobody is above the law.
Barack Obama
How do we transform mere power into justice, mere sentiment into love?
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
I've never said that troops should be withdrawn. What I've said is, is that we've got to make sure that we secure and execute the rebuilding and reconstruction process effectively and properly, and I don't think we should have an artificial deadline when to do that.
Barack Obama
What is the empathy deficit? The inability of people to stand in other folks shoes. It's hard to empathize with people who have different values than you
Barack Obama
It's probably a prerequisite for the job, or at least you have to have enough craziness to think that you can do the job. I think that [Donald Trump] has not spent a lot of time sweating the details of, you know, all the policies.
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
Donald Trump will be the next president, the 45th President of the United States. And it will be up to him to set up a team that he thinks will serve him well and reflect his policies. And those who didn't vote for him have to recognize that that's how democracy works. That's how this system operates.
Barack Obama
You know, I think that we are going to be OK. Look, Malia is 10, so three years from now she is 13. Who knows what happens to teenagers?
Barack Obama
We can make sure that people who don't have health insurance can buy into an insurance pool that gives them better bargaining power.
Barack Obama
