More quotes by Barack Obama
When you've got little kids, and you're tucking them in. When you open a door and they're in their pajamas and they're, you know, wrestling with you and asking you, you know, to read to them and stuff, [The white House] starts feeling like home pretty quick. Not to mention having a mother-in-law upstairs, and the dog, and now two.
Barack Obama
I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds. One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time.
Barack Obama
All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.
Barack Obama
While we may not live to see the full realization of our ambition, we will have the satisfaction of knowing that the world we leave to our children will be better off for what we did.
Barack Obama
I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
I am confident that we will one day end the scourge of modern slavery, because I believe in those committed to this issue.
Barack Obama
To those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.
Barack Obama
I'd like to think that President Obama believed deeply in this democracy and the American people.
Barack Obama
And we have done more in the two and a half years that I've been in here than the previous 43 Presidents to uphold that principle, whether it's ending 'don't ask, don't tell,' making sure that gay and lesbian partners can visit each other in hospitals, making sure that federal benefits can be provided to same-sex couples.
Barack Obama
Foreign Assistance is not an end in itself. The purpose of aid must be to create the conditions where it's no longer need.
Barack Obama
Every president who has tried to bring about big changes I think elicits the most passionate responses.
Barack Obama
The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.
Barack Obama
Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed.
Barack Obama
So I think it's important to understand that your duly elected representatives have been consistently informed about exactly what we're doing.
Barack Obama
The brain is a body part too we just know less about it.
Barack Obama
I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.
Barack Obama
I don't care whether you're driving a hybrid or an SUV. If you're headed for a cliff, you have to change direction. That's what the American people called for in November, and that's what we intend to deliver.
Barack Obama
99.9% of plumbers make less than a quarter million dollars a year, and I'm going to give Joe a break whether he wants it or not.
Barack Obama
The Recovery Act, which helped saved the economy and prevented us going into the Great Depression, was the largest investment in green technology, the largest investment in education. We rebuilt roads and bridges.
Barack Obama
