My finely honed political instincts tell me that almost nobody believes that they should be paying higher taxes.

Too many Americans who struggle with mental health illnesses are suffering in silence rather than seeking help, and we need to see to it that men and women who would never hesitate to go see a doctor if they had a broken arm or came down with the flu, that they have that same attitude when it comes to their mental health.
Barack Obama

What Americans expect from Washington is action that matches the urgency they feel in their daily lives.
Barack Obama

Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it...The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.
Barack Obama

We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.
