The good news is I think there are a lot of young people certainly who were involved in my campaigns, and I think continue to be involved in work not just politically, but through nonprofits and other organizations, that can carry this hard work of democracy forward.
Barack Obama
A free market was never meant to be a free licence to take whatever you can get, however you can get it.
Barack Obama
If you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill, other things they're spending money on, it may turn out that, it's just that they haven't prioritized health care.

Barack Obama
This doesn't mean abandoning our values and ideals wherever we can, it's in our interest to help foster democracy through the diplomatic and economic resources at our disposal.
Barack Obama
Across the globe there are girls who will one day lead nations, if only we afford them the chance to choose their own destinies.
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
There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.
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
Elections matter and voting counts.
Barack Obama
The friendship that we established early on in our marriage ... that carries you through tough times. That and a good sense of humor.
