The bottom line is that it's hard to find a model in which you can practically administer and sustain political support for those kinds of efforts. And what makes America complicated as well is the degree to which this is not just a black/white society, and it is becoming less so every year.

Barack Obama
You don't like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don't break it. Don't break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That's not being faithful to what this country's about.
Barack Obama
It is easy to get to a higher number when you are not asking anything difficult from yourself.
Barack Obama
There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.
Barack Obama
If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.

What has made America the wealthiest, most successful country on Earth historically has been our commitment to education.
Barack Obama
We can't afford more top-down economics. What we need are policies that will grow and strengthen the middle class.
Barack Obama
What I've said is we're going to encourage democracy in Pakistan, expand our nonmilitary aid to Pakistan so that they have more of a stake in working with us, but insisting that they go after these militants.
Barack Obama
His peaceful resistance shook the foundations of an empire, exposed the emptiness of a repressive ideology, and proved that moral leadership is more powerful than any weapon.
Barack Obama
Keeping the people's government open is not a concession to me. Keeping vital service running and hundreds of thousands of Americans on the job is not something you 'give' to the other side.
