Barack Obama
... the fact is it didn't happen in the first month, the first six weeks, in a way that was at all acceptable. And since I'm in charge, obviously, we screwed it up.
Barack Obama
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
Barack Obama
My hope would be that, as we're moving through the world right now, we're able to get that psychological or emotional peace by seeing very concretely our kids doing better and being more hopeful and having greater opportunities.

Barack Obama
The Democrats are using the human trafficking bill's language that's been there for 40 years, regarding the use of federal funds for abortion.
Barack Obama
I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.
Barack Obama
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.
Barack Obama
It's not just enough to change the players. We've gotta change the game.
Barack Obama
I have a deep appreciation for the wisdom of this guy , George Washington.
Barack Obama
The greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another
Barack Obama
For we have always understood that when times change, so must we, that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges, that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.
Barack Obama
We're opposing Russia's aggression against Ukraine, which is a threat to the world, as we saw in the appalling shoot-down of MH17.
Barack Obama
Lincoln, they used to talk about him almost as bad as they talk about me. So democracy has never been for the faint of heart.
Barack Obama
There are few things in life that are harder to find and more important to keep than love. Well, love and a birth certificate.
Barack Obama
Our kids grew up here [in the White House]. Some of our best friends have been made here in this place. There have been moments that were highlights for us - that - you know, are going to be hard to duplicate.
Barack Obama
