So we don't need more top-down economics. We've tried that theory. We've seen what happens. We can't afford to go back to it.
Barack Obama
I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.

Here in Europe, I think that there are a lot of young people who forget the issues that were at stake during the Cold War.
Barack Obama
I agree with the basic principle that anybody who wants to serve in our armed forces and make sacrifices on our behalf, on behalf of our national security, anybody should be able to serve. And they shouldn't have to lie about who they are in order to serve.
Barack Obama
That is the nature of democracy. It is hard. It is not always inspiring.

Barack Obama
What I said to Donald Trump was that what may work in generating enthusiasm or passion during elections may be different than what will work in terms of unifying the country and gaining the trust even of those who didn't support him.
Barack Obama
If we're serious about building an economy that lasts, we have got to get serious about education. We are going to have to pick up our games and raise our standards.
Barack Obama
I'm skeptical that [the Republicans] can do [something better with healthcare] mainly because for seven years now, including when we first tried to pass health care, I said to 'em, Okay, if [Obamacare] doesn't work tell me what does.
Barack Obama
It continues to be my strong belief that the way we are going to make sure that everybody feels a part of this global economy is not by shutting ourselves off from each other, even if we could, but rather by working together more effectively than we have in the past.
Barack Obama
Congress should fund research on the effects that violent video games have on young minds... We don't benefit from ignorance. We don't benefit from not knowing the science.
Barack Obama
The framers, in their wisdom, designed the [political] system so that power's pretty disbursed.
Barack Obama
One thing you learn in this job [being US President] is that even if something's not your fault, you're still responsible. And that's how it should be.
Barack Obama
One of the challenges of a democratic government is making sure that even in the midst of emergencies and passions, we make sure that rule of law and the basic precepts of justice and liberty prevail.
Barack Obama
If John McCain wants to have a debate about who has the temperament, and judgment, to serve as the next Commander-in-Chief, that's a debate I'm ready to have.
Barack Obama
