More quotes by Barack Obama
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.
Barack Obama
We can give our intelligence and law enforcement community the powers they need to track down and take out terrorists without undermining our commitment to the rule of law, or our basic rights and liberties.
Barack Obama
I refuse to condemn your generation and future generations to a planet that's beyond fixing.
Barack Obama
To everyone in this Congress who still refuses to raise the minimum wage, I say this: If you truly believe you could work full-time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, go try it. If not, vote to give millions of the hardest-working people in America a raise.
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
I'm skeptical that [the Republicans] can do [something better with healthcare] mainly because for seven years now, including when we first tried to pass health care, I said to 'em, Okay, if [Obamacare] doesn't work tell me what does.
Barack Obama
Politics didn't lead me to working people. Working people led me into politics.
Barack Obama
The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition, we must lead it.
Barack Obama
Get involved in an issue that you're passionate about. It almost doesn't matter what it is ... We give too much of our power away, to the professional politicians, to the lobbyists, to cynicism. And our democracy suffers as a result.
Barack Obama
On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.
Barack Obama
We don't turn back. We leave no one behind. We pull each other up.
Barack Obama
What makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it's the courage to raise one.
Barack Obama
As you travel through the Middle East what keeps on striking home to me is how similar everyone is, and yet the degree to which we can find differences to fight wars over. It requires a great deal of empathy, I think, between various sides to overcome this history and live in peace.
Barack Obama
The flame of the diya, or lamp, reminds us that light will ultimately triumph over darkness.
Barack Obama
We've been able to organize the international community around it in ways that aren't going to go back.
Barack Obama
We have reaffirmed again and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace, and when it comes to America and Islam, there is no us and them, there's only us, because millions of Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of our country. So, we reject any suggestion of a clash of civilizations.
Barack Obama
We should foster a culture in which people's private religious beliefs, including atheists and agnostics, are respected. And that's the kind of culture that I think allows all of us, then, to believe what we want. That's freedom of conscience. That's what our Constitution guarantees.
Barack Obama
I honor, we honor the service of John McCain, and I respect his many accomplishments, even if he chooses to deny mine. My differences with him are not personal they are with the policies he has proposed in this campaign.
Barack Obama
You now have the potential of 200 people deciding who ends up being elected president every single time.
Barack Obama
I think that dealing with guns is one way to handle the violent-crime issues that we have in this country.
Barack Obama
