More quotes by Barack Obama
For decades, this great leader, often at Dr. King’s side, was denied his rightful place in history because he was openly gay. No medal can change that, but today, we honor Bayard Rustin’s memory by taking our place in his march towards true equality, no matter who we are or who we love.

It is in the interests of all of us - the United States, China and the rest of the world - to make sure that the rules of the road are upheld.

Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should.
Barack Obama
You know, sometimes I'll go to an 8th-grade graduation and there's all that pomp and circumstance and gowns and flowers. And I think to myself, it's just 8th grade ... An 8th-grade education doesn't cut it today. Let's give them a handshake and tell them to get their butts back in the library!
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
The notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense.
Barack Obama
If you look at Libya, I was deeply concerned about what would happen after Qaddafi was gone.
Barack Obama
How we think about terrorism has to be defined and specific enough that it doesn't lead us to think that any horrible actions that take place around the world that are motivated in part by an extremist Islamic ideology is a direct threat to us or something that we have to wade into.
Barack Obama
How do we transform mere power into justice, mere sentiment into love?
Barack Obama
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.

Barack Obama
Sometimes when these kinds of things happen, it can seem a little bit too much to bear. But what I want the people of Louisiana know is that you're not alone on this. Even after the TV cameras leave, the whole country is going to continue to support you and help you until we get folks back in their homes and lives are rebuilt.
Barack Obama
We can give our intelligence and law enforcement community the powers they need to track down and take out terrorists without undermining our commitment to the rule of law, or our basic rights and liberties.
Barack Obama
Don't shortchange the future, because of fear in the present.
Barack Obama
