More quotes by Barack Obama
When George Bush came into office, we had surpluses. And now we have half-a-trillion-dollar deficit annually. When George Bush came into office, our national debt was around $5 trillion. It's now over $10 trillion. We've almost doubled it.
Barack Obama
And we have done more in the two and a half years that I've been in here than the previous 43 Presidents to uphold that principle, whether it's ending 'don't ask, don't tell,' making sure that gay and lesbian partners can visit each other in hospitals, making sure that federal benefits can be provided to same-sex couples.
Barack Obama
There's nobody to guide through the process of becoming a man... to explain to them the meaning of manhood. And that's a recipe for disaster.
Barack Obama
I'd say, probably, intellectually I've drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
Barack Obama
This is our first task-caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged.
Barack Obama
... the country deserves us to be willing to compromise on behalf of the greater good.
Barack Obama
As we look forward to the New Year, let's resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share.
Barack Obama
If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.
Barack Obama
You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.
Barack Obama
The problem is, that we've got a position, often times by the NRA that says any regulation whatsoever is the camel's nose under the tent. And that, I think, is not where the American people are at.
Barack Obama
Politics has never been for the thin-skinned or the faint-of-heart, and if you enter the arena, you should expect to get roughed up.
Barack Obama
If Democrats are not showing up in those [rural] places even if you're not gonna win right away but if you're not in there at least making an argument that, Hey, you know what? It's the Democrats who are trying to raise your minimum wage.
Barack Obama
What I'm interested in doing after I get out of the presidency is to make sure that I'm working with that next generation so that they understand you can't just rely on inspiration.
Barack Obama
I think that Donald Trump is coming to this office with fewer set hard-and-fast policy prescriptions than a lot of other presidents might be arriving with.
Barack Obama
Our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.
Barack Obama
As the wealthiest nation on Earth, I believe the United States has a moral obligation to lead the fight against hunger and malnutrition, and to partner with others.
Barack Obama
It would be good for the workers in Vietnam even as it helps make sure that they're not undercutting competition here in the United States.
Barack Obama
There are certain people in our popular culture that just capture people's imaginations. And in death, they become even larger. Now, I have to admit that it's also fed by a 24/7 media that is insatiable.
Barack Obama
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
it’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. - Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President
