While we breathe, we will hope.
Barack Obama
Image
Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions. And that's what we have to change first. We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans.
Barack Obama

Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too.
Barack Obama
Image
The most important thing we can do is to make sure that we've got very high standards, we expect a lot out of all of our young people, and we make sure that we have the best teachers possible in every classroom.

Our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these children and the families of the adults we lost....May god bless the memory of the victims and in the words of scripture heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds.

There was a time when if you had a financial crisis in Southeast Asia somewhere, it had no impact on our markets. Today it does.

Since I've been in the Senate, is that my work with people like Tom Coburn on opening up transparency in government, making sure that every dollar the federal government spends that's out there - that that's all posted on a searchable database on the Internet.

We should foster a culture in which people's private religious beliefs, including atheists and agnostics, are respected. And that's the kind of culture that I think allows all of us, then, to believe what we want. That's freedom of conscience. That's what our Constitution guarantees.
Barack Obama
Image
My relationship with Silicon Valley and the tech community historically has been really good. Many of these folks are my friends.
Barack Obama
Image
If you want to know who we are, who America is, how we respond to evil-that's it: selflessly, compassionately, unafraid.
Barack Obama
Image
I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.
Barack Obama
Image
If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.
Barack Obama
Image
It's useful for activists just to be out there to keep you mindful and not get complacent, even if ultimately you think some of their criticism is misguided.
Barack Obama
Image
There is a certain percentage of the white population ... if they started having more middle-class black kids who are friends with their kids, eating Cheerios in their kitchen, their attitudes start changing.
Barack Obama
Image
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
Image
Three months is a lifetime in politics.
Barack Obama
Image
This is why the anti-discrimination principle being enforced is important. Because it won't stop if some of the underlying biases aren't challenged and surfaced. And that in and of itself creates backlash and denial. This is what I mean when I say better is hard.
Barack Obama
Image
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.

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.
