More quotes by Barack Obama
I think we've done a pretty good job staying in touch with the American people. But at a certain point you can't help but lose some feel for what's on the ground because you're not on the ground.
Barack Obama
Sanctions alone could not stop Iran's nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table.
Barack Obama
Our vulnerability to Russia or any other foreign power is directly related to how divided, partisan, dysfunctional our political process is. That's the thing that makes us vulnerable.
Barack Obama
No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change.
Barack Obama
I get letters from [people getting insurance] right now. You saved my child's life. I did not have to sell my home when my wife got sick. And that is what, as a policy maker, I'm trying to achieve during the short period of time that I'm here.
Barack Obama
What the American people understand is that I look at what we need to get done to keep the American people safe and to move our interests forward, and I make those decisions.
Barack Obama
It would be good for the workers in Vietnam even as it helps make sure that they're not undercutting competition here in the United States.
Barack Obama
I believe that we have better ideas. But I also believe that good ideas don't matter if people don't hear them.
Barack Obama
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.
Barack Obama
Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency.
Barack Obama
The memoir was a very personal book. I wrote it as a personal journey and search about who my father was and how my family had come together and come apart - sorting all that out, you know, issues of personal identity.
Barack Obama
As a practical matter, it is hard to think of any society in human history in which a majority population has said that as a consequence of historic wrongs, we are now going to take a big chunk of the nation's resources over a long period of time to make that right.
Barack Obama
I don't want ever to be a president who is comfortable and at ease with killing people.
Barack Obama
One of the things I think the next president has to do is to stop fanning people's fears. If we spend all our time feeding the American people fear and conflict and division, then they become fearful and conflicted and divided. And if we feed them hope and we feed them reason and tolerance, then they will become tolerant and reasonable and hopeful.
Barack Obama
For me, personally, the most difficult moments had to do with not just terrorist attacks, but also shootings.
Barack Obama
I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.
Barack Obama
I want to deal with the homeless situation here in Washington, D.C. I think it is a travesty that we've got men - and increasingly women - families, across the street and the in shadow of this great capital, that shows a lack of concern, not just for the capital, but for American, when we are allowing something like that to happen.
Barack Obama
You have the ability and gifts to do whatever you want. It is your turn now to change the world. Yes we can!
Barack Obama
When I've sent young men and women into harm's way, I always understand that that is the last resort, not the first resort.
Barack Obama
The globe is shrinking, the information age is bringing a lot of changes. People are anxious about their future and their children's futures.
Barack Obama
