More quotes by Barack Obama
The truth is that, in trying to get at terrorists who are in countries that either are unwilling or unable to capture those terrorists or disable them themselves, there are a lot of situations where the use of a drone is going to result in much fewer civilian casualties and much less collateral damage than if I send in a battalion of marines.
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
In America, we then made a commitment, particularly after World War II with the GI Bill, to massively expand our commitment to college education, and that meant we had more engineers and we had more scientists and that meant we had better technology, which meant that we were more productive and we could succeed in the global marketplace.
Barack Obama
Life takes its own turns, makes its own demands, writes its own story, and along the way, we start to realize we are not the author.
Barack Obama
The notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete.
Barack Obama
At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It insists on the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God's edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one's life on such uncompromising commitment may be sublime to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.
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
Keep guns out of inner cities-but also problem of morality.
Barack Obama
The federal government and our democracy is not a speedboat. It's an oceanliner, as I discovered when I came into office. It took a lot of really hard work for us to make significant policy changes, even in our first two years, when we had larger majorities than Mr. Trump will enjoy when he comes into office.
Barack Obama
It would be good for the workers in Vietnam even as it helps make sure that they're not undercutting competition here in the United States.
Barack Obama
Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.
Barack Obama
Call Loretta Lynch for a vote. Get her confirmed. Put her in place. Let her do her job.
Barack Obama
We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. This happened because of you. Thank you.
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
I want every math teacher to know math. I want every science teacher to have expertise in science. I want them to know how to inspire and engage young people.
Barack Obama
We also recommit to supporting tribal self-determination, security, and prosperity for all Native Americans. While we cannot erase the scourges or broken promises of our past, we will move ahead together in writing a new, brighter chapter in our joint history.
Barack Obama
Our intelligence agencies will continue to gather information about the intentions of governments - as opposed to ordinary citizens - around the world, in the same way that the intelligence services of every other nation does. We will not apologize simply because our services may be more effective.
Barack Obama
The memoir was a very personal book. I wrote it as a personal journey and search about who my father was and how my family had come together and come apart - sorting all that out, you know, issues of personal identity.
Barack Obama
And if that child should ever get the chance to travel the world and someone should ask her where is she from, we believe that she should always be able to hold her head high with pride in her voice when she answers, I am an American. That is the course we seek. That is the change we are calling for.
Barack Obama
We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it's easy, but when it is hard.
Barack Obama
