To restore America's competitiveness, we must recruit a new generation of science and technology leaders by investing in diversity.
Barack Obama
Image
I've got two daughters and I want to make sure that they have the same opportunities that anybody's sons have. That's part of what I'm fighting for as president of the United States.
Barack Obama
Image
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
Image
For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.

When you're out of work and you can't buy a home or you've lost your home and you're worried about paying your bills, then you become more worried about what other folks are doing. And sometimes that organizes itself around kind of a tribal attitude, and issues of race become more prominent.

Barack Obama
Image
I think that the issues we have with science these days are not restricted to what's happening with respect to religion. There are a lot of very religious scientists around.

Barack Obama
Image
I have never had to travel more than thirty seconds from home to office, and it's because of that that I've been able to maintain, really a family life that has nurtured and sustained me during this time [of presidency].
Barack Obama
Image
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
Image
I strongly agree with Vice President Gore that we cannot drill our way to energy independence, but must fast-track investments in renewable sources of energy like solar power, wind power and advanced biofuels...
Barack Obama
Image
In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Barack Obama
Image
It is that promise that has always set this country apart-that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well.
Barack Obama
Image
Arne Duncan is done more to bring our educational system, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the 21st century than anyone else.
Barack Obama
Image
As long as I'm president of the United States Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. I made that clear when I came into office.
Barack Obama
Image
Nobody's madder than me about the website not working as well as it should, which means it's going to get fixed.
Barack Obama
Image
Occasionally I would like the German people to give us the benefit of the doubt, given our history, as opposed to assuming the worst -- assuming that we have been consistently your strong partners and that we share a common set of values.
Barack Obama
Image
There's no way to resolve Syria without Iran being involved, given its financing of Assad and the fact that Hezbollah is probably the most effective fighting force that Assad can count on.
Barack Obama
Image
One of the issues the Democrats have to be clear on is the given population distribution across the country. We have to compete everywhere. We have to show up everywhere. We have to work at a grassroots level, something that's been a running thread in my career.
