More quotes by Barack Obama
To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.
Barack Obama
This self-reflection, this willingness to examine ourselves, to make corrections, to do better, that's part of what makes us Americans. It's part of what sets us apart from other nations, the United States is the most professional, most capable, most cutting-edge intelligence community in the world.
Barack Obama
Jesus Christ is the LORD. I believe in that.
Barack Obama
America is number one in wind power.

Barack Obama
If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country.
Barack Obama
I was reminded that it is my obligation not only as an elected official in a pluralistic society, but also as a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided.
Barack Obama
As the wealthiest nation on Earth, I believe the United States has a moral obligation to lead the fight against hunger and malnutrition, and to partner with others.
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
Justice needs to be served, what I think people of Baltimore want more than anything else is the truth. That's what people around the country expect.
Barack Obama
What is certainly true is that the United States has to have a presence to promote the values that we care about.
Barack Obama
Unemployment is low, incomes are up, poverty is down - and that's going to be a lasting change.
Barack Obama
What the American people understand is that I look at what we need to get done to keep the American people safe and to move our interests forward, and I make those decisions.
Barack Obama
And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American.
Barack Obama
