More quotes by Barack Obama
Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny ... and everything in between. But he was one of a kind.
Barack Obama
You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don't break it. Don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That's not being faithful to what this country's about.
Barack Obama
Maybe you could be a great writer - maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper - but you might not know it until you write that English paper - that English class paper that's assigned to you.
Barack Obama
Race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society.
Barack Obama
A better politics is one where we appeal to each other’s basic decency instead of our basest fears.
Barack Obama
ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
What I've said is we're going to encourage democracy in Pakistan, expand our nonmilitary aid to Pakistan so that they have more of a stake in working with us, but insisting that they go after these militants.
Barack Obama
Those jeans are comfortable, and for those of you who want your president to look great in his tight jeans, I'm sorry I'm not the guy. It just doesn't fit me. I'm not 20.
Barack Obama
What I believe unites the people of this nation, regardless of race or region or party, young or old, rich or poor, is the simple, profound belief in opportunity for all - the notion that if you work hard and take responsibility, you can get ahead.
Barack Obama
I said that America’s role would be limited that we would not put ground troops into Libya that we would focus our unique capabilities on the front end of the operation and that we would transfer responsibility to our allies and partners.
Barack Obama
Even on health care what you've seen is a lot of stories surfacing lately about people who said, Well, I voted for [Donald] Trump but I don't think he's really gonna take away my health care.
Barack Obama
Because as tough as things have been, I am convinced you are tougher. I've seen your passion and I've seen your service... I've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course.
Barack Obama
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.
Barack Obama
I think that what is true is that the Russians intended to meddle, and they meddled. And it could be another country in the future.
Barack Obama
America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive diversity and openness an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it - so long as we seize it together.
Barack Obama
We are in what we hope is an intensive diplomatic phase now. It will not be open-ended.
Barack Obama
I find it amusing that those who helped to authorize and engineer the biggest foreign policy disaster in our generation are now criticizing me for making sure that we are on the right battlefield and not the wrong battlefield in the war against terrorism.
Barack Obama
