Barack Obama
While we breathe, we will hope.
Barack Obama
One of the things that you learn, having been in this [President's] office for four years, is the old adage of Abraham Lincoln's. That with public opinion there's nothing you can't do and without public opinion there's very little you can get done.
Barack Obama
I think the irony ... is that I actually would like to see a relatively light touch when it comes to the government.

Barack Obama
I bowled a 129... It was like the Special Olympics or something!
Barack Obama
I'm very consistent about spending time with family. And when you have dinner with your daughters - they'll keep you in your place and they'll teach you something about perspective.
Barack Obama
As I reflect back on what's worked for me in this [presidential] office it's been that I've gotten people who maybe didn't believe in the process to get engaged. Ironically, I've even gotten the other side that maybe didn't believe in the process to get engaged.
Barack Obama
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama
If people, whether they are conservative or liberal, left or right, are unwilling to compromise and engage in the democratic process, and are taking absolutist views, and demonizing opponents, then democracy will break down.
Barack Obama
Climate change poses a direct threat to the infrastructure of America that we need to stay competitive in this 21st-century economy.
Barack Obama
We don't really have any kind of regulatory structure at all.
Barack Obama
