More quotes by Barack Obama
We have not confronted forcefully enough the intolerance, sectarianism, and hopelessness that feeds violent extremism in too many parts of the globe.
Barack Obama
Many of us were kind of irritated with Obama for larding it with tax cut, which we didn't think was going to be stimulative.
Barack Obama
It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it.
Barack Obama
In December, I agreed to extend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans because it was the only way I could prevent a tax hike on middle-class Americans. But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can't afford it. And I refuse to renew them again.
Barack Obama
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.
Barack Obama
A lot of the issues that I see, it is not an either-or situation.
Barack Obama
In a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people. Let it be told to the future world that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country alarmed at one common danger came forth to meet it.
Barack Obama
There's no straight line to progress.
Barack Obama
Some of Donald Trump's gifts that obviously allowed him to execute one of the biggest political upsets in history, those are ones that hopefully he will put to good use on behalf of all the American people.
Barack Obama
I think that leadership more than anything is about setting a course and describing a vision for people.
Barack Obama
I think that America has to stand with democracy.
Barack Obama
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity.
Barack Obama
We don't have this huge footprint, we are less likely to be targeted as, you know, occupiers [in Afghanistan and Iraq].
Barack Obama
You can't manage [country] the way you would manage a family business.
Barack Obama
I have complete confidence in the American people and our legal traditions and the prosecutors, the tough prosecutors from New York who specialize in terrorism.
Barack Obama
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure... It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
Barack Obama
If you think that running your economy into the ground and having to send troops in in order to prop up your only ally is leadership, then we've got a different definition of leadership.
Barack Obama
I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.
Barack Obama
To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.
Barack Obama
I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture and I'm going to make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world.
Barack Obama
