More quotes by Barack Obama
You now have the potential of 200 people deciding who ends up being elected president every single time.
Barack Obama
There are some who might say that somebody named Barack Obama can't be elected senator in the state of Illinois. They're probably the same folks who said that a guy named Rod Blagojevich couldn't be elected governor of the state of Illinois.
Barack Obama
I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health care plan.
Barack Obama
Let's not play games. I was suggesting - you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith.
Barack Obama
[J]ust because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right.
Barack Obama
We should foster a culture in which people's private religious beliefs, including atheists and agnostics, are respected. And that's the kind of culture that I think allows all of us, then, to believe what we want. That's freedom of conscience. That's what our Constitution guarantees.
Barack Obama
We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity.
Barack Obama
Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we're still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves.
Barack Obama
In fact, the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job, but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this, and I am prepared to join them.
Barack Obama
I will never apologize for saying that the future of humanity and the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common as opposed to those things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict.
Barack Obama
Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too.
Barack Obama
If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.
Barack Obama
I am confident that we will one day end the scourge of modern slavery, because I believe in those committed to this issue.
Barack Obama
We consume about 25 percent of the world's oil. We only have 2 percent of the reserves.
Barack Obama
A nuclear Iran is a threat to America's national security, and it is a threat to Israel's national security. We cannot afford to have a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region of the world.
Barack Obama
What we can do is make sure that Afghanistan is not a safe haven for Al Qaeda. What we can do it make sure that it is not destabilizing neighboring Pakistan, which has nuclear weapons. The key is we’ve got to have a clear objective...
Barack Obama
In sectors like energy, I haven't been arguing for more spending per se I've been arguing that it doesn't make sense for us to spend $4 billion subsidizing an oil industry that's mature and very profitable. We should be using that money to finance clean energy of the future.
Barack Obama
Affirmative action is not going to be the long-term solution to the problems of race in America, because, frankly, if you've got 50 percent of African-American or Latino kids dropping out of high school, it doesn't really matter what you do in terms of affirmative action. Those kids aren't going to college.
Barack Obama
I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds. One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time.
Barack Obama
The American people recognize that their careers or their kids' careers are going to have to be more dynamic. That they might not be working at a single plant for 30 years. That they might have to change careers. They might have to get more education. They might have to retool or retrain. And I think the American people are game for that.
Barack Obama
