More quotes by Barack Obama
I don't regret at all saying that if I saw Bashar al-Assad using chemical weapons on his people that that would change my assessments in terms of what we were or were not willing to do in Syria.
Barack Obama
With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I'm going to press on for equality. I'm going to press on for the sake of our children. I'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I am going to press on.
Barack Obama
What Americans expect from Washington is action that matches the urgency they feel in their daily lives.
Barack Obama
Those opportunity gaps begin early, often at birth. And they compound over time, becoming harder and harder to bridge, making too many young men and women feel like, no matter how hard they try, they may never achieve their dreams.
Barack Obama
So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.
Barack Obama
The key is whether or not we have got priorities that are working for you, as opposed to those who have been dictating the policy in Washington lately. And that's mostly lobbyists and special interests. We have got to put an end to that.
Barack Obama
The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.
Barack Obama
We have to make sure America writes the rules of the global economy, and we should do it today while our economy is in the position of global strength, because if we don't write the rules for trade around the world, guess what: China will.
Barack Obama
I have great respect for both President Obama and the office that he holds
Barack Obama
One of the best investments we can make in a child’s life is high-quality early education.
Barack Obama
You have social media and the Internet and immigration and so, suddenly, cultures are clashing and people feel as if they're less familiar with the people around them. That causes social anxieties.
Barack Obama
Tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.
Barack Obama
I've been fighting with Acorn, alongside Acorn, on issues you care about, my entire career.
Barack Obama
The good news is I think there are a lot of young people certainly who were involved in my campaigns, and I think continue to be involved in work not just politically, but through nonprofits and other organizations, that can carry this hard work of democracy forward.
Barack Obama
Markets will rise and fall, but this is the United States of America. No matter what some agency may say, we've always been and always will be a triple A country.
Barack Obama
The American people are both anxious for change. We're in a time of flux.
Barack Obama
I then spoke to chancellor (Angela) Merkel of Germany and we agreed that the United States and our European allies will work closely together in the weeks and months ahead.
Barack Obama
I think at times of significant stress people are going to be looking for something and they don't always know exactly what it is that they're looking for and they may opt for change even if they're not entirely confident what that change will bring.
Barack Obama
I would have I think made a bigger mistake if I had said, Eh, chemical weapons. That doesn't really change my calculus. I think it was important for me as president of the United States to send a message that in fact there is something different about chemical weapons [in Syria].
Barack Obama
We're up against the conventional thinking that says your ability to lead as president comes from longevity in Washington or proximity to the White House. But we know that real leadership is about candor and judgment and the ability to rally Americans from all walks of life around a common purpose, a higher purpose.
Barack Obama
