What I want all of you to know is that we are going to bring those who killed our fellow Americans to justice.
Barack Obama

I said this right after the election - we have to remind ourselves we're on the same team. Vladimir Putin's not on our team.
Barack Obama
Image
I think we need missile defense. But I want to make sure it works, that it's cost effective, that the technologies are operable, that it's our best possible strategy, and that hasn't been shown.
Barack Obama
Image
The time to fix our broken immigration system is now... We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace... But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America... Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should.

Societies in which we are able to unify ourselves around values and ideals and character and how we treat each other and cooperation and innovation, ultimately are gonna be more successful than societies that don't.

With effort we can protect the foundation of our democracy, for which so many marched across this bridge, the right to vote.
Barack Obama
Image
We ask for nothing more than the chance to blaze our own trail, and yet each of us is only here because somebody, somewhere, helped us find our path. That`s part of what makes America exceptional. We are family and we`ll do anything to help each other along the way.
Barack Obama

That is the difference we make in the world. And our own safety, our own security, depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation and uphold the values that we stand for - timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been vanquished from the Earth.
Barack Obama
Image
We have proved that the true strength of our nation comes not from the scale of our wealth but from the power of our ideals - opportunity, democracy, liberty and hope.
Barack Obama
Image
The brain is a body part too we just know less about it.
Barack Obama
Image
I think that whenever you have got an incoming president of the other side it takes a while for people to reconcile themselves with that new reality.
Barack Obama
Image
The silence killed your faith.
Barack Obama
Image
I confess to wincing every so often at a poorly chosen word, a mangled sentence, an expression of emotion that seems indulgent or overly practiced. I have the urge to cut the book by fifty pages or so, possessed as I am with a keener appreciation for brevity.
Barack Obama

There was no such thing as Al Qaeda in Iraq, until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq.
Barack Obama
Image
I think the American people can change Washington. But I think that it is not going to change, because somebody from on high directs that change.
Barack Obama
Image
Al Qaeda, the Taliban, a whole host of networks that are bent on attacking America, who have a distorted ideology, who have perverted the faith of Islam, and so we have to go after them.
Barack Obama

I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.

The other reason might be that you want to talk to voters when you've got seven primaries in seven days. Understand what's happened in this race - where we campaign actively in a state, and voters have the chance to see me directly, they check under the hood, and they kick the tires, when we don't have as much time.

My strong preference has always been to legislate when I can get legislation done.
