More quotes by Barack Obama
Globalization is a fact, because of technology, because of an integrated global supply chain, because of changes in transportation. And we're not going to be able to build a wall around that.
Barack Obama
Nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky.
Barack Obama
Being a father is sometimes my hardest but always my most rewarding job. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
Barack Obama
Sanctions alone could not stop Iran's nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table.
Barack Obama
There's something about these steps [in Oval Office] and thinking about everybody who's walked here and all the business that's been done here.
Barack Obama
People need to remember we are the governing party because we have diversity of opinion in our party. We're not pure. We have moderates and we have more progressives.
Barack Obama
Every three weeks, we bring online as much solar power as we did in all of 2008...That’s why, over the past six years, we’ve done more than ever before to combat climate change, from the way we produce energy, to the way we use it.
Barack Obama
I think that most Americans don't resent people for getting rich. They want to get rich themselves.
Barack Obama
I think the American people recognize that the world has shrunk. That it's interconnected. That you're not going to put that genie back in the bottle.
Barack Obama
I do think that I have a better sense of how military action can result in unintended consequences.
Barack Obama
I think part of the reason that I have been successful, though, despite maybe not always fitting my message into the pre-packaged formulas, is there is this whole other media ecology out there of the Internet and Instagram and memes and talk shows and comedy, and I'm pretty good at that.
Barack Obama
With respect to the Internet and emails, this does not apply to U.S. citizens and it does not apply to people living in the United States.
Barack Obama
Having a tax code that rewards companies that are shipping jobs overseas instead of companies that are investing here in the United States, that will not make us more competitive.
Barack Obama
If we truly believe in our public schools, then we have a moral responsibility to do better - to break the either-or mentality around school reform, and embrace a both-and mentality. Good schools will require both the structural reform and the resources necessary to prepare our kids for the future.
Barack Obama
The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.
Barack Obama
Even when folks are hitting you over the head, you can't stop marching. Even when they're turning the hoses on you, you can't stop.
Barack Obama
That is another theme in the book [Dreams from My Father]. How do we exercise more empathy in our public discourse? How do we get the black to see through the eyes of the white? Or the citizen to see through the eyes of the immigrant? Or the straight to see through the eyes of the gay? That has always been a struggle in our politics.
Barack Obama
What we saw was that the Ferguson Police Department in conjunction with the municipality saw traffic stops, arrests, tickets as a revenue generator, as opposed to serving the community, and that it systematically was biased against African-Americans in that city who were stopped, harassed, mistreated, abused, called names, fined.
Barack Obama
Shooting in Orlando is a sobering reminder that attacks on any American, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation, is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a country. And no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans.
Barack Obama
n case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died - an entire town destroyed.
