More quotes by Barack Obama
There is a big risk for the Republicans in a race, especially with Hillary Clinton as a likely Democratic nominee in a contest that will focus on the possibility of the first woman president to be six months suspending up the nomination of a black woman, who is imminently qualified.
Barack Obama
Palestinians will never realize their independence by denying the right of Israel to exist.
Barack Obama
Teddy Roosevelt supported a progressive income tax. If I am sitting pretty and you've got a waitress who is making minimum wage plus tips, and I can afford it and she can't, what's the big deal for me to say, 'I'm going to pay a little bit more'? That is neighborliness.
Barack Obama
I would say that I have been consistent in my broad view of how American power should be deployed, and the view that we underestimate our power when we restrict it to just our military power. We shortchange our influence and our ability to shape events when that's the only tool we think we have in the toolbox.
Barack Obama
The role of citizen in our democracy does not end with your vote.
Barack Obama
By the end of this decade, a majority of our Navy and Air Force fleets will be based out of the Pacific, because the United States is and always will be a Pacific power.
Barack Obama
We have a choice. We can shape our future, or let events shape it for us. And if we want to succeed, we can't fall back on the stale debates and old divides that won't move us forward.
Barack Obama
I would say of all the things that have happened during the course of my presidency the knowledge that you have hundreds of thousands of people who have been killed, millions who have been displaced, [makes me] ask myself what might I have done differently along the course of the last five, six years.
Barack Obama
Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too.
Barack Obama
We are now at a point where because we in fact have been successful at stopping a number of plots, a threat has evolved. We do see these lone-wolf actors. We do see these encouragements for troubled individuals to pick up a gun and act out of this ideology.
Barack Obama
I'm going to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great.
Barack Obama
[ William Ayers] is an example of what I'm talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
Barack Obama
I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.
Barack Obama
What is the empathy deficit? The inability of people to stand in other folks shoes. It's hard to empathize with people who have different values than you
Barack Obama
And, you know, I don’t want to have to worry that she is going to get sick as the consequence of having, having her lunch.
Barack Obama
Politics in this country [USA] is always tough. It's always contentious, because this is a big country and a diverse country, and people have strong points of view, and we've got a great diversity of interests.
Barack Obama
There are some exceptions: Chicago, my hometown, in particular. But overall in the country this is a much safer place than it used to be.
Barack Obama
Nowhere is it ordained that history moves in a straight line.
Barack Obama
[J]ust because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right.
Barack Obama
In the eyes of God, a child on the other side of the border is no less worthy of love and compassion than my own child. We - we can't distinguish between them in terms of their worth and their inherent dignity and that they're deserving of shelter and love and education and opportunity. We can't isolate ourselves. We can't hide behind a wall.
Barack Obama
