More quotes by Barack Obama
I get letters from [people getting insurance] right now. You saved my child's life. I did not have to sell my home when my wife got sick. And that is what, as a policy maker, I'm trying to achieve during the short period of time that I'm here.
Barack Obama
One thing I don't like is when you disrespect the law.
Barack Obama
While we may not live to see the full realization of our ambition, we will have the satisfaction of knowing that the world we leave to our children will be better off for what we did.
Barack Obama
The American people are both anxious for change. We're in a time of flux.
Barack Obama
I mentioned charter schools, and experimenting with our school system, to make it work. I think that's something we really have to pay attention to.
Barack Obama
America will rise again. And hope will rise again.
Barack Obama
Pastor Saeed Abedini is coming home. Held for three and a half years, his unyielding faith has inspired people around the world in the global fight to uphold freedom of religion. Now Pastor Abedini will return to his church and community in Idaho.
Barack Obama
If there's one thing I would like to see, it'd be for us to be able to price the cost of carbon emissions.
Barack Obama
Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.
Barack Obama
We are not going to have a situation where our education spending goes back to its lowest level since the year 2000 despite a larger population and more kids to educate. We know that the single most important thing in terms of how well we can compete around the world is the quality of our workforce. We can't do that to our kids.
Barack Obama
Some people in D.C. talk about me like a dog.
Barack Obama
I always enjoy watching Republicans compliment Bill Clinton now, because at the time, I'm sure he didn't feel a lot of the love.
Barack Obama
Our journey is not complete until all our children... know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm.
Barack Obama
We've got to identify new strategies to use cleaner energy, because that is a recipe for reducing the overall amount of pollution that's out there.
Barack Obama
People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better.
Barack Obama
We want to see the Iranians engage, and as you know, we have attempted to bring about that engagement over the course of the last three-plus years. It has not proven effective.
Barack Obama
I don't want ever to be a president who is comfortable and at ease with killing people.
Barack Obama
Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father.
Barack Obama
In December, I agreed to extend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans because it was the only way I could prevent a tax hike on middle-class Americans. But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can't afford it. And I refuse to renew them again.
Barack Obama
No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President, I never will.
