More quotes by Barack Obama
Here at home, we will strengthen our defenses but not succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifices the open society and liberties and values that we cherish as Americans, because great and proud nations don't hunker down and hide behind walls of suspicion and mistrust.
Barack Obama
Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time.
Barack Obama
Michelle [Obama] never fully took to the scrutiny. I mean, she's thrived as a first lady, but it's not her preference.
Barack Obama
[Michelle Obama] was the hardest sell. And she never fully embraced being in the public spotlight, which is ironic, given how good she is.
Barack Obama
I will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.
Barack Obama
In a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people. Let it be told to the future world that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country alarmed at one common danger came forth to meet it.
Barack Obama
As an elected official who comes from the African-American community, there are some similarities. You are always trying to reconcile your own personal biography and affiliations with the demands of the broader democracy. And you need to make sure you are representing everybody.
Barack Obama
It is time for a new compact among the civilized peoples of this world to eradicate war at its most fundamental source: the corruption of young minds by violent ideology.
Barack Obama
We have reaffirmed again and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace, and when it comes to America and Islam, there is no us and them, there's only us, because millions of Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of our country. So, we reject any suggestion of a clash of civilizations.
Barack Obama
You might slow down a little bit, you might not jump as high as you used to, but I know what I'm doing and I'm fearless.
Barack Obama
The arts are what makes life worth living. You've got food, you've got shelter, yeah. But the things that make you laugh, make you cry, make you connect - make you love are communicated through the arts. They aren't extras.
Barack Obama
Our kids grew up here [in the White House]. Some of our best friends have been made here in this place. There have been moments that were highlights for us - that - you know, are going to be hard to duplicate.
Barack Obama
America, our endless blessings bestow an enduring burden. But as Americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead.
Barack Obama
I'm going to insist on making sure that we've got decent funding, that we've got enough teachers, that we've got computers in the classroom, but unless you turn off the television set and get over a certain anti-intellectualism that I think pervades some low-income communities, our children are not going to achieve.
Barack Obama
Our country was born out of a desire to be free. And every day since, it's been protected by our men and women in uniform - people who believed so deeply in America, they were willing to give their lives for it.
Barack Obama
The United States has to go through structural reforms in terms of improving our education system or revamping our infrastructure or, you know, looking at some regulations that weren't properly controlling excesses on Wall Street.
Barack Obama
All I want to do, if you've already got health care, is lower your costs.
Barack Obama
Unemployment is low, incomes are up, poverty is down - and that's going to be a lasting change.
Barack Obama
Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them.
Barack Obama
I believe that the best measure of whether a nation is going to be successful is whether they are tapping the talents of their women.
Barack Obama
