What a vindication of the belief that ordinary people can do extraordinary things, what a reminder of what Bobby Kennedy once said, about how small actions can be like pebbles being thrown into a still lake, and ripples of hope cascade outwards and change the world.
Barack Obama
Image
We have now just enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their healthcare.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
Image
America leads - not with bluster, but with persistent, steady resolve.
Barack Obama
Image
For now, decisions are upon us and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.
Barack Obama
Image
It is time to put in place tough, new common-sense rules of the road so that our financial market rewards drive and innovation, and punishes short-cuts and abuse.
Barack Obama
Image
In Missouri, it's a 50/50 state, so I'm kind of used to half the state being mad at me.
Barack Obama
Image
People in every country should be free to choose and live their faith based upon the persuasion of the mind, and the heart, and the soul. This tolerance is essential for religion to thrive.
Barack Obama
Image
[Donald Trump] ran an extraordinarily unconventional campaign and it resulted in the biggest political upset in perhaps modern political history. American history.
Barack Obama
Image
What makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it's the courage to raise one.
Barack Obama
Image
A relentless focus on the outward markers of success can lead to complacency. It can make you lazy.
Barack Obama
Image
There are times where I've made mistakes or our administration hasn't always aligned ourselves with the values we need to align ourselves with. It's a work of constant improvement.
Barack Obama
Image
There isn't anyone who can't serve ... nobody who can't help somebody else.
Barack Obama
Image
We believe that big nations should not bully smaller nations, and that the sovereignty of nations must be respected. And we have long urged that disputes be resolved peacefully, including through mechanisms like international arbitration.
