More quotes by Barack Obama
The bottom line is that it's hard to find a model in which you can practically administer and sustain political support for those kinds of efforts. And what makes America complicated as well is the degree to which this is not just a black/white society, and it is becoming less so every year.
Barack Obama
Societies held together by fear and repression may offer the illusion of stability for a time, but they are built upon fault lines that will eventually tear asunder.
Barack Obama
First and foremost, it's important to remember that, from my perspective at least, my most important legacy was making sure that the world didn't go into a Great Depression.
Barack Obama
One of the things that you learn, having been in this [President's] office for four years, is the old adage of Abraham Lincoln's. That with public opinion there's nothing you can't do and without public opinion there's very little you can get done.
Barack Obama
Keeping the people's government open is not a concession to me. Keeping vital service running and hundreds of thousands of Americans on the job is not something you 'give' to the other side.
Barack Obama
The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people.
Barack Obama
If we win all those fights, and now let's say the income gap, and the wealth gap, and the education gap have for the most part been closed - let's say hypothetically, , first of all, America as a whole would be a lot richer.
Barack Obama
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity.
Barack Obama
Back in the '50s and '60s, most politicians were concerned about not talking about faith, partly because there were consequences you had to deal with - (for instance) Catholicism had been made an issue.
Barack Obama
Nature is actually resilient, if we take care to just stop actively destroying it.
Barack Obama
The men and women of America's homeland security apparatus do important work to protect us, and Republicans and Democrats in Congress should not be playing politics with that.
Barack Obama
The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.
Barack Obama
There are problems that just end up being really hard and by definition the only problems that come to my desk are the ones that nobody else can solve.
Barack Obama
You can't manage [country] the way you would manage a family business.
Barack Obama
As part of the coalition against ISIL, we are putting that terrorist network under tremendous pressure.
Barack Obama
I think it's a healthy thing for the Democratic Party to go through some reflection.
Barack Obama
The good news is that the Paris Agreement is not just a bilateral agreement between the United States and some other country. You have 200 countries who came together. It's an international agreement.
Barack Obama
I think the American people can change Washington. But I think that it is not going to change, because somebody from on high directs that change.
Barack Obama
If you think that we've overregulated in the environmental space what I can show you is that we have tripled the amount of wind power in this country, increased by tenfold the amount of solar power. We are producing as much oil and gas as we've ever produced.
Barack Obama
I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.
