Being a father is sometimes my hardest but always my most rewarding job. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

The men and women of America's homeland security apparatus do important work to protect us, and Republicans and Democrats in Congress should not be playing politics with that.
Barack Obama
Image
Iran is the latest expression of a deep, ancient, powerful culture that's different than ours. And we don't know how it's going to play itself out.
Barack Obama
Image
America can't provide health care to people who need it. We can't invest in science and technology, which will determine whether or not we are going to be competitive in the long term. There has never been a country on Earth that saw its economy decline and yet maintained its military superiority.
Barack Obama

My first job is to say thank you to those who voted me. Those who didn't, I'm going to get your vote next time.
Barack Obama

Only a handful of men and women leave an imprint on the conscience of a nation and on the history that they helped shape.

In Africa, you often see that the difference between a village where everybody eats and a village where people starve is government. One has a functioning government, and the other does not. Which is why it bothers me when I hear people say that government is the enemy. They don't understand its fundamental role.
Barack Obama

We should never hesitate to use military force, and I will not, as president, in order to keep the American people safe. But we have to use our military wisely. And we did not use our military wisely in Iraq.

The Democrats are using the human trafficking bill's language that's been there for 40 years, regarding the use of federal funds for abortion.
Barack Obama
Image
I don't want to jump the gun, [but] I will tell you, though, that my goal is to have the best possible government.
Barack Obama
Image
I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.
Barack Obama
Image
My particular passion for Lincoln dates back from my earliest memories of politics.
Barack Obama

I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.
Barack Obama
Image
And if that child should ever get the chance to travel the world and someone should ask her where is she from, we believe that she should always be able to hold her head high with pride in her voice when she answers, I am an American. That is the course we seek. That is the change we are calling for.

It is legitimate for the Turks to try to defend themselves.
Barack Obama

I try to explain to them about the aloha spirit. And it's that spirit that I am absolutely convinced is what America is looking for right now.

My family, frankly, they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

Put simply, what I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody's who is willing to work for it.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.

It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.
