No two countries are identical, and obviously, there's a difference between a referendum on a very complex relationship between Great Britain and the rest of Europe, and a presidential election in the United States.

More quotes by Barack Obama
[J]ust because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right.
Barack Obama
Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change. The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.
Barack Obama
If you look at Libya, I was deeply concerned about what would happen after Qaddafi was gone.
Barack Obama
Whether it's coming from FDR or it's coming from Ronald Reagan, if the idea is right for the times then we're gonna apply it. And things that don't work we're gonna get rid of.
Barack Obama
I think that we've had an economy that's been out of balance for too long. So the general principle of raising taxes on higher income Americans, like myself, and providing relief to those who haven't benefited as much from this new global economy, I think is a sound one.
Barack Obama
Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values.
Barack Obama
And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.
Barack Obama
Nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do is make you scared of me. You know, he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills, you know. He's risky.
Barack Obama
Teddy Roosevelt supported a progressive income tax. If I am sitting pretty and you've got a waitress who is making minimum wage plus tips, and I can afford it and she can't, what's the big deal for me to say, 'I'm going to pay a little bit more'? That is neighborliness.
Barack Obama
Any time bombs are used to target civilians it is an act of terror.
Barack Obama
As long as I'm president of the United States Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. I made that clear when I came into office.
Barack Obama
I'm really excited about the prospect of a woman president of the United States.
Barack Obama
In the midst of economic recovery and global upheaval, disasters like this remind us of the common humanity that we share.
Barack Obama
I do think Brexit vote speaks to the ongoing changes and challenges that are raised by globalisation.
Barack Obama
Our planet is changing in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind.
Barack Obama
We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights that our destinies are bound together that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.
Barack Obama
I would say that I have been consistent in my broad view of how American power should be deployed, and the view that we underestimate our power when we restrict it to just our military power. We shortchange our influence and our ability to shape events when that's the only tool we think we have in the toolbox.
Barack Obama
Iran was nearing completion of a new reactor capable of producing plutonium for a bomb.
Barack Obama
Ultimately peer pressure can lead people to bully, but peer pressure can also say bullying is not acceptable.
Barack Obama
Hunger, disease and poverty can lead to global instability and leave a vacuum for extremism to fill. So instead of just managing poverty, we must offer nations and people a pathway out of poverty. And as president I've made development a pillar of our foreign policy, alongside diplomacy and defense.
Barack Obama
