More quotes by Barack Obama
For the world has changed, and we must change with it
Barack Obama
I know that the politics around trade can be very difficult - especially in an election year.
Barack Obama
Don't shortchange the future, because of fear in the present.
Barack Obama
I'm skeptical that [the Republicans] can do [something better with healthcare] mainly because for seven years now, including when we first tried to pass health care, I said to 'em, Okay, if [Obamacare] doesn't work tell me what does.
Barack Obama
I am encouraged by the president-elect's [Donald Trump] insistence that NATO is a commitment that does not change. And his full commitment to NATO as the foundation for our international security I think is very important.
Barack Obama
When your team loses, everybody gets deflated. And it's hard, and it's challenging.
Barack Obama
I think that we are in a position to continue to make progress, but it's gonna require us to both recognize what the problems are, also recognize the progress we've made. Last point I'd make on this, since we're on criminal justice: During the course of my presidency crime has been the lowest it's been probably since the '60s.
Barack Obama
We are not going to keep the window open forever.
Barack Obama
What we have to do is make sure that here in America, if you work hard, you can get ahead. If you worked hard, not only did you have a good job, but you also had decent benefits, decent health care. We've got to make sure that we're doing everything we can to expand the middle class and people who are working hard can get into the middle class.
Barack Obama
I think we want to see new voices and new ideas emerge - that's part of the reason why term limits are a really useful thing.
Barack Obama
Let's make two things clear: Isil is not Islamic. No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of Isil's victims have been Muslim. And Isil is certainly not a state.
Barack Obama
With respect to some of the specific legislation or initiatives that I've made, it's true that Republicans often opposed these things. Sometimes they opposed them because I proposed them. Now that they are responsible for governing, I think they'll find that reversing them would be counterproductive.
Barack Obama
Scripture tells us to run with endurance the race that is set before us. As we do, may God hold close those who’ve been taken from us too soon.
Barack Obama
We can still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace. So that’s what I strive to do and pray to do every day.
Barack Obama
I put forward a budget of what I called middle-class economics that continues to be fiscally prudent but makes necessary investments for us to continue the economic momentum and job growth.
Barack Obama
Reality has a way of asserting itself.
Barack Obama
Although Israel was founded based on the historic Jewish homeland and the need to have a Jewish homeland, Israeli democracy has been premised on everybody in the country being treated equally and fairly. And I think that that is what's best about Israeli democracy.
Barack Obama
Winston Churchill used to say that we, Americans, try every other option before we finally do the right thing. After everything else is exhausted we eventually do the right thing and I think that's true for Congress as well. And it's important for Americans to remember that politics has always been messy.
Barack Obama
When people see opportunity, when they have a sense of control of their own destiny, then they're less vulnerable to the propaganda and twisted ideologies that have been attracting young people - particularly being turbocharged through social media.
Barack Obama
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.
Barack Obama
