America is a strong and resilient country. And I know we will succeed, if we put aside partisanship and politics and work together as one nation.
Barack Obama

We ask our men and women in uniform to leave their families, our guardsmen and reservists to leave their jobs. We ask you to fight, to sacrifice, to risk your lives for your country. The last thing you should have to do is fight for a job when you come home.

We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.
Barack Obama

Peace is not just the absence of war. True peace depends upon creating the opportunity that makes life worth living. And to do that, we must confront the common enemies of human beings: nuclear weapons and poverty ignorance and disease.

Barack Obama
Image
Basically, I am a night owl. My wife is an early bird, so she goes to bed around 9:30, and my kids are in bed about 8. So, if I am home, I will usually start writing about 9:30 and go till about 12:30 or 1:30, depending on what my energy level is.
Barack Obama

We're up against the conventional thinking that says your ability to lead as president comes from longevity in Washington or proximity to the White House. But we know that real leadership is about candor and judgment and the ability to rally Americans from all walks of life around a common purpose, a higher purpose.
Barack Obama

We don't quit. I don't quit. Let's seize this moment.
Barack Obama

Fighting for what you think is right is always worth it.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
Image
So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.
Barack Obama
Image
That is the nature of democracy. It is hard. It is not always inspiring.
Barack Obama
Image
I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending. There will be no easy off ramps on this one.
