I have been in Washington for a while now, and most things don't surprise me. The fact that twenty 6-year-olds were gunned down in the most violent fashion possible and this town couldn't do anything about it was stunning to me.

More quotes by Barack Obama
I have seen, the desperation and disorder of the powerless: how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago 's South Side.
Barack Obama
I mentioned charter schools, and experimenting with our school system, to make it work. I think that's something we really have to pay attention to.
Barack Obama
Tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.
Barack Obama
There are legitimate concerns and anxieties that the forces of globalisation are leaving too many people behind - and we have to take those concerns seriously and address them. But the answer isn't to turn inward and embrace protectionism. We can't just walk away from trade.
Barack Obama
We have now just enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their healthcare.
Barack Obama
You might be locked in a world not of your own making, her eyes said, but you still have a claim on how it is shaped. You still have responsibilities.

Leaving the broken system the way it is, that`s not a solution.
Barack Obama
One of the things you discover about being president is that there are all these rules and norms and laws and you got to pay attention to them.
Barack Obama
There are certain things we can only do together. There are certain things only a union can do. Only a union could harness the courage of our pioneers to settle the American west, which is why President Abraham Lincoln passed a Homestead Act giving a tract of land to anyone seeking a stake in our growing economy.
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
The president and the executive branch are always going to have greater latitude and greater authority when it comes to protecting America because sometimes you just have to respond quickly and not everything that is a danger can be publicized and be subject to open debate, but there have to be some guardrails.
Barack Obama
As president, I decided that a strong, confident America could advance our national security by engaging directly with the Iranian government. We've seen the results.
Barack Obama
America will rise again. And hope will rise again.
Barack Obama
Change doesn't come from Washington. Change comes to Washington
Barack Obama
I think [ unpopular presidential candidates ] indicates, at least on the Democratic side, that we've got more work to do to strengthen our grassroots networks.
Barack Obama
Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country
Barack Obama
Jobs was brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.
Barack Obama
Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.
Barack Obama
In America, we want a peaceful planet. We want people to be able to enjoy their lives and know they're going to have a bright and prosperous future, not be at war. That's our purpose.
Barack Obama
America isn't Congress. America isn't Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business, or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger.
Barack Obama
