Barack Obama
It's important to recognize that you can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience.
Barack Obama
I think that people are concerned about the breakdown of the family but they also don't want to see discrimination against gays and lesbians who they work with and they want to be able to make sure that gays can visit each other in hospitals and be able to inherit property.
Barack Obama
We should raise the minimum wage so that no one who works full time has to live in poverty
Barack Obama
We've got an extraordinarily complex tax system that's full of loopholes that are exploited by special interests. I'd like to see those loopholes closed.
Barack Obama
We long for unity, but are unwilling to pay the price. But of course, true unity cannot be so easily won. It starts with a change in attitudes - a broadening of our minds, and a broadening of our hearts.
Barack Obama
Tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
These are young people who made mistakes that aren't that different than the mistakes I made and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made, we have a tendency sometimes to almost take for granted or think it's normal that so many young people end up in our criminal justice system. It's not normal. ... What is normal is teenagers doing stupid things.
Barack Obama
