I'm really excited about the prospect of a woman president of the United States.
Barack Obama
The flame of the diya, or lamp, reminds us that light will ultimately triumph over darkness.
Barack Obama
There have been periods where the folks who were already here suddenly say, 'Well, I don't want those folks,' even though the only people who have the right to say that are some Native Americans.
Barack Obama
Some heinous crimes justify the ultimate punishment.
Barack Obama
I do believe that Chancellor Merkel and Germany are a lynchpin in protecting the basic tenets of a liberal, market-based democratic order that has created unprecedented prosperity and security for Europe, but also for the world.
Barack Obama
If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.
Barack Obama
The UK is an extraordinary partner for America and a force for good in an unstable world. I hope it remains strong, robust and united.
Barack Obama
I think that Canada is one of the most impressive countries in the world, the way it has managed a diverse population, a migrant economy. The natural beauty of Canada is extraordinary. Obviously there is enormous kinship between the United States and Canada, and the ties that bind our two countries together are things that are very important to us.
Barack Obama
In America, we've set up a system whereby when you take on college debt, you will never have to pay more than 10 percent of your income in repayments. And what that will do is make sure that you will never be prevented from going to school just because of money. We want to make sure that you and others like you can succeed.
Barack Obama
Not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes tolerance and opportunity, human dignity and justice.
Barack Obama
That's silly talk... Talk to my wife. She'll tell me I need to learn to just put my socks on the hamper.
Barack Obama
As citizens, we understand that it is not about what America may do for us. It's about what can be done by us, together.
Barack Obama
What is a danger is that we stay stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high, people who have jobs see their incomes go up, businesses make big profits. But they're learned to do more with less, and so they don't hire.
Barack Obama
I hope you don’t listen to this. I hope you choose to broaden, and not contract, your ambit of concern.
Barack Obama
For top executives to award themselves these kinds of compensation packages in the midst of this economic crisis isn't just bad taste, it's bad strategy, and I will not tolerate it as president.
Barack Obama
You have to be organized, that you have to vote even when it's not exciting.
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
Peace is not just the absence of war. True peace depends upon creating the opportunity that makes life worth living. And to do that, we must confront the common enemies of human beings: nuclear weapons and poverty ignorance and disease.
Barack Obama
By some estimates, the oil you recently discovered off the shores of Brazil could amount to twice the reserves we have in the United States. We want to work with you. We want to help with technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely, and when you're ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers.
Barack Obama
My mother was the one constant in my life. When I think about my mom raising me alone when she was 20, and working and paying the bills, and, you know, trying to pursue your own dreams, I think is a feat that is unmatched.
Barack Obama
