More quotes by Barack Obama
If we truly believe in our public schools, then we have a moral responsibility to do better - to break the either-or mentality around school reform, and embrace a both-and mentality. Good schools will require both the structural reform and the resources necessary to prepare our kids for the future.
Barack Obama
We should not anticipate that every time countries come together that we are doing some revolutionary thing. Instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we're going to hit singles.
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
Women deserve equal pay for equal work.
Barack Obama
Where the stakes are the highest, in the war on terror, we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation. Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing, planning and collaborative enforcement.
Barack Obama
I believe in term limits for presidents because I think that there is no doubt I'm a better president now than I was when I start.
Barack Obama
I can say across Europe that many principles that have been taken for granted here around free speech, and around civil liberties and an independent judiciary, and fighting corruption, those are principles that, you know, not perfectly but generally, we have tried to apply not just in our own country but also with respect to our foreign policy.
Barack Obama
Our journey is not complete until all our children... know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm.
Barack Obama
The world is less violent than it has ever been.
Barack Obama
This massacre in Orlando is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school or in a house of worship or a movie theater or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that's the kind of country we want to be. And to actively do nothing is a decision, as well.
Barack Obama
Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism - it is an important part of promoting peace.
Barack Obama
[The Americans] believe in the idea that a child shouldn't be consigned to poverty just because of circumstances of their birth.
Barack Obama
Find somebody to be successful for. Raise their hopes. Rise to their needs.
Barack Obama
Whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners to it.
Barack Obama
We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy. Yet we import more oil today than ever before.
Barack Obama
I like my quiet time. There is a writer's sensibility in me sometimes, where I step back.
Barack Obama
There is no individual salvation without collective salvation
Barack Obama
I am confident that we will one day end the scourge of modern slavery, because I believe in those committed to this issue.
Barack Obama
I will eliminate capital-gains taxes for the small businesses and the startups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow
Barack Obama
You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.
Barack Obama
