More quotes by Barack Obama
I think it is important first of all that the president of the United States underscores our commitment to partnering with countries around the world, even though we're not intimidated by terrorist organisations.
Barack Obama
Every decision, every debate, no matter how important it is, with the same question: 'What does this mean for the next election? What does it mean for your poll numbers? Is this good for the Democrats or good for the Republicans? Who won the news cycle?' That's just how Washington is. They can't help it. They're obsessed with the sport of politics.
Barack Obama
If we have the kinds of confirmation that we need, we will once again work with the international community and the organization charged with monitoring compliance by the Syrian government, and we will reach out to patrons of Assad like Russia to put a stop to it.
Barack Obama
I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries.
Barack Obama
For top executives to award themselves these kinds of compensation packages in the midst of this economic crisis isn't just bad taste, it's bad strategy, and I will not tolerate it as president.
Barack Obama
The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
Barack Obama
We believe that no matter where you live - whether a village in Punjab or the bylanes of Chandni Chowk, an old section of Kolkata or a new high-rise in Bangalore - every person deserves the same chance to live in security and dignity, to get an education, to find work, and to give their children a better future.
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
I don't want ever to be a president who is comfortable and at ease with killing people.
Barack Obama
Africa is on the move a new Africa is emerging!
Barack Obama
There wasn't a time where I felt fearful that I couldn't make the best decisions possible.
Barack Obama
With effort we can protect the foundation of our democracy, for which so many marched across this bridge, the right to vote.
Barack Obama
I don't want to jump the gun, [but] I will tell you, though, that my goal is to have the best possible government.
Barack Obama
There are problems that just end up being really hard and by definition the only problems that come to my desk are the ones that nobody else can solve.
Barack Obama
Citizenship means standing up for everyone's right to vote.***
Barack Obama
Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
Barack Obama
My sister is a teacher, so I am a strong support of teachers, but I'm not going to be bound by just a certain way of talking about these things, in order for us to move forward on behalf of our kids.
Barack Obama
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
I don't want my generals or my defense secretary or my national-security team to ever feel deploying weapons to kill people as routine or abstract, even if the targets are bad people.
Barack Obama
The day after the attack, governor, I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened. That this was an act of terror and I also said that we're going to hunt down those who committed this crime.
Barack Obama
