More quotes by Barack Obama
The dollar is the reserve currency of the world.
Barack Obama
We're not going to baby sit a civil war.
Barack Obama
We should never hesitate to use military force, and I will not, as president, in order to keep the American people safe. But we have to use our military wisely. And we did not use our military wisely in Iraq.
Barack Obama
Will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy.
Barack Obama
My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.
Barack Obama
That sort of lack of awareness on the part of an activist about the constraints of our political system and the constraints on this office, I think, sometimes would leave me to mutter under my breath. Very rarely did I lose it publicly. Yeah, usually I'd just smile.
Barack Obama
If we have actionable intelligence about high value terrorist targets and President [Pervez] Musharraf will not act, we will.
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
I try to explain to them about the aloha spirit. And it's that spirit that I am absolutely convinced is what America is looking for right now.
Barack Obama
Part of America's genius has always been its ability to absorb newcomers, to forge a national identity out of the disparate lot that arrived on our shores.
Barack Obama
Like Joe Biden and so many other Americans, I've lost people I love deeply to cancer. I've heard often from those whose loved ones are suffering from Alzheimer's, addiction, and other debilitating diseases. Their heartbreak is real, and so we have a responsibility to respond with real solutions.
Barack Obama
I've said consistently that I always reserve the right, in conjunction with a broader international effort, to prevent genocide or any wholesale slaughter than might happen inside of Iraq or anyplace else.
Barack Obama
Certainly I've appreciated Angela Merkel as a partner.
Barack Obama
It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth - a rising, thriving middle class.
Barack Obama
Nobody likes taxes. I would prefer that none of us had to pay taxes, including myself.
Barack Obama
[American Citizenship] captures the enduring idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations
Barack Obama
At various periods in American history, people get pretty rambunctious when it comes to our democratic debate.
Barack Obama
We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year
Barack Obama
I don`t know if Donald Trump`s ever been to an actual polling place, but, you know, he doesn`t even worry if what he says is true. This is just about him worried that he`s losing.
Barack Obama
I can document this past week [of presidency] we've put out memos from every agency showing what did we do. Try to be as honest as possible. There's a little hype involved obviously. It's spin because it's our agencies. We feel some pride about it. But tried to be self-critical as well.
Barack Obama
