More quotes by Barack Obama
There's some bittersweet feelings about leaving the people here [in the White House]. 'Cause even though all the team you assemble, you know, you're going to stay in touch with 'em, it's not the same, you know? The band kind of breaks up.
Barack Obama
Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science.
Barack Obama
For now, decisions are upon us and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.
Barack Obama
Let's remember that our leadership is defined not just by our defence against threats, but by the enormous opportunities to do good and promote understanding.
Barack Obama
I can say across Europe that many principles that have been taken for granted here around free speech, and around civil liberties and an independent judiciary, and fighting corruption, those are principles that, you know, not perfectly but generally, we have tried to apply not just in our own country but also with respect to our foreign policy.
Barack Obama
One of the things you discover about being president is that there are all these rules and norms and laws and you got to pay attention to them.
Barack Obama
We learn from our mistakes, we do some reflection, we lick our wounds, we brush ourselves off - then we go forward, with the presumption of good faith in our fellow citizens.
Barack Obama
I want every math teacher to know math. I want every science teacher to have expertise in science. I want them to know how to inspire and engage young people.
Barack Obama
In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?
Barack Obama
The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
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 always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics.
Barack Obama
Those opportunity gaps begin early, often at birth. And they compound over time, becoming harder and harder to bridge, making too many young men and women feel like, no matter how hard they try, they may never achieve their dreams.
Barack Obama
Nobody wants to put the creditworthiness of the United States in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see the United States default. So we've got to seize this moment, and we have to seize it soon.
Barack Obama
Nowhere is it ordained that history moves in a straight line.
Barack Obama
In sectors like energy, I haven't been arguing for more spending per se I've been arguing that it doesn't make sense for us to spend $4 billion subsidizing an oil industry that's mature and very profitable. We should be using that money to finance clean energy of the future.
Barack Obama
I'm not denouncing the church, and I'm not interested in people who want me to denounce the church. It's not a church worthy of denouncing.
Barack Obama
It is time to do away with work place policies that belong in a Mad Men episode.
Barack Obama
Reflecting on his years in prison, Nelson Mandela wrote that there were dark moments that tested his faith in humanity, but he refused to give up.
Barack Obama
Time is running out for Iran to address the international community's growing concerns about its nuclear program.
