More quotes by Barack Obama
we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities
Barack Obama
We have greater awareness of where we're falling short than we used to. Just take the example of community police relations.
Barack Obama
There's no question that a lot of Americans on both the right and the left are expressing some fears and frustrations about the dislocations brought on by globalisation. Many of those frustrations are legitimate and they need to be addressed.
Barack Obama
Does that mean that all vestiges of past discrimination would be eliminated, that the income gap or the wealth gap or the education gap [between Afro-Americans and white] would be erased in five years or 10 years? Probably not, and so this is obviously a discussion we've had before when you talk about something like reparations.
Barack Obama
There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President.
Barack Obama
I do think Brexit vote speaks to the ongoing changes and challenges that are raised by globalisation.
Barack Obama
Torture is how you create enemies, not how you defeat them.
Barack Obama
I'm blown away. I'm flabbergasted the president [Barack Obama] made the phone call to Rouhani after 30-plus, `79, 33 years or so. And there's a reason we haven't negotiated with Iran, because they're state-sponsored terrorists. They're the central bank for terrorism around the world.
Barack Obama
I will continue to urge creditors to take the steps needed to put Greece on a path towards a durable economic recovery because it's in all of our interests that Greece succeeds.
Barack Obama
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
I said this right after the election - we have to remind ourselves we're on the same team. Vladimir Putin's not on our team.
Barack Obama
You're not going to be able to make good decisions without building some relationship of trust between yourself and community.
Barack Obama
I remember reading [ Studs Terkel's] Working when it first came out and just finding that very powerful. I was going into community organizing. What stuck was to reveal the sacredness of ordinary people's lives. That everybody has a story. And I think Studs is terrific at drawing out that shimmering quality of people's everyday struggles.
Barack Obama
When friends are in trouble, America Helps.
Barack Obama
it’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. - Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President
Barack Obama
I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.
Barack Obama
Any time bombs are used to target civilians it is an act of terror.
Barack Obama
Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions.
Barack Obama
It’s not that I want to punish your success. I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success, too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.
Barack Obama
We ask for nothing more than the chance to blaze our own trail, and yet each of us is only here because somebody, somewhere, helped us find our path. That`s part of what makes America exceptional. We are family and we`ll do anything to help each other along the way.
Barack Obama
