Barack Obama
I don't take a dime of their [lobbyist] money, and when I am president, they won't find a job in my White House.
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
Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
Barack Obama
