Barack Obama

But you know, they've handled it with grace and I give Michelle [Obama] most of the credit for how well they've done, but I also just think they are graceful, good young, young women.
Barack Obama
What we shouldn't be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages or working conditions... These so-called right to work laws, they don't have to do with economics they have everything to do with politics. What they're really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money.
Barack Obama
If we want to really reduce foreign influence on our elections, then we better think about how to make sure that our political process, our political dialogue is stronger than it's been.
Barack Obama

I think perhaps education doesn’t do us much good unless it is mixed with sweat.
Barack Obama
That applies, by the way, even to some of the folks who are now [Donald] Trump supporters. They're responding to a fictional character named Barack Obama who they see on Fox News or who they hear about through Rush Limbaugh.
Barack Obama
We may come from different places and have different stories, but we share common hopes, and one very American dream.
Barack Obama
Change doesn't come from Washington. Change comes to Washington
Barack Obama
We may have different backgrounds, but we believe in the same dream that says this is a country where anything's possible. No matter who you are. No matter where you come from.
Barack Obama
[The] United States is proud to stand with you as your strongest ally and greatest friend. I see this visit as an opportunity to reaffirm the unbreakable bond between our nations, to restate America's unwavering commitment to Israel's security, and to speak directly to Israel and to your neighbors.
Barack Obama
Think about it: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela - these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us.
Barack Obama
No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation.
