Those who are troubled by our existing programs are not interested in a repeat of 9/11, and those who defend these programs are not dismissive of civil liberties. The challenge is getting the details right, and that's not simple.
Barack Obama
Image
I don't want to jump the gun, [but] I will tell you, though, that my goal is to have the best possible government.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business - you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
Barack Obama
Image
Rather than pointing fingers or assigning blame, let’s use this occasion to expand our moral imaginations, to listen to each other more carefully, to sharpen our instincts for empathy and remind ourselves of all the ways that our hopes and dreams are bound together.
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
We were still able to see the phone records of a potential terrorist cause, we held them, now you have to hope the phone company still has them, you have to argue with their chief counsel by the time you get access to it, and try to find out who they've been talking to before it's too late.
Barack Obama

[We should beware] that our democracy stays healthy. And making sure that we maintain that sense of solidarity.
Barack Obama

Life takes its own turns, makes its own demands, writes its own story, and along the way, we start to realize we are not the author.

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.

When I ran for the U.S. Senate the assumption was that anyone's name that was close to Osama doesn't stand a chance. So if somebody thought that tacking on Hussein in there would be a killer, then I think they underestimate the American people and the seriousness of the problems we face.
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
There are certain people in our popular culture that just capture people's imaginations. And in death, they become even larger. Now, I have to admit that it's also fed by a 24/7 media that is insatiable.
Barack Obama

Our founders made it extraordinarily difficult to amend the Constitution.
