More quotes by Barack Obama
Will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy.
Barack Obama
I would have to investigate more of Bill's dancing abilities, you know, and some of this other stuff before I accurately judge whether he was in fact a brother.
Barack Obama
The biggest deficit that we have in our society and in the world right now is an empathy deficit. We are in great need of people being able to stand in somebody else's shoes and see the world through their eyes.
Barack Obama
I think where I get frustrated at times was the belief that the president can do anything if he just decides he wants to do it.
Barack Obama
Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you're flying high at first, but it won't take long before you feel the impact.
Barack Obama
This is why the anti-discrimination principle being enforced is important. Because it won't stop if some of the underlying biases aren't challenged and surfaced. And that in and of itself creates backlash and denial. This is what I mean when I say better is hard.
Barack Obama
Let's say I'm on the policy wonk end of the spectrum. As much as I can dive into a briefing book and really work to master various subjects that come before my desk, I'm still not an expert on a huge amount of the stuff that we work on.
Barack Obama
Historically - when you look at how America has evolved, typically we make progress on race relations in fits and starts. We make some progress, and then there's maybe some slippage.
Barack Obama
I've got a pen, and I've got a phone, and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive action. I've got a pen to talk executive actions where congress won't. Where congress isn't acting, I'll act on my own. I have got a pen and I got a phone. And that is all I need.
Barack Obama
Contrary to the claims of some of my critics and some of the editorial pages, I am an ardent believer in the free market.
Barack Obama
The Internet and Twitter and all these things are very powerful, but it also means sometimes that instead of having a dialogue we just start calling folks - calling each other names. And that's true on the left or the right.
Barack Obama
My strong preference has always been to legislate when I can get legislation done.
Barack Obama
I said this right after the election - we have to remind ourselves we're on the same team. Vladimir Putin's not on our team.
Barack Obama
We cannot have a society, in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the United States.
Barack Obama
I don't want my generals or my defense secretary or my national-security team to ever feel deploying weapons to kill people as routine or abstract, even if the targets are bad people.
Barack Obama
I think that what is true is that the Russians intended to meddle, and they meddled. And it could be another country in the future.
Barack Obama
Islam has always been part of America
Barack Obama
The federal government and our democracy is not a speedboat. It's an oceanliner, as I discovered when I came into office. It took a lot of really hard work for us to make significant policy changes, even in our first two years, when we had larger majorities than Mr. Trump will enjoy when he comes into office.
Barack Obama
I wouldn't consider them acts of war, but I would consider them acts of property damage, commercial theft that are serious.
Barack Obama
Change has come to America.
Barack Obama
