More quotes by Barack Obama
It [is] that courage that Africa most desperately needs.
Barack Obama
Today I am pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office.
Barack Obama
Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do.
Barack Obama
If you ask the average person they'd tell ya, Naw, it's much more dangerous, despite the fact that violent crime has dropped precipitously.
Barack Obama
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.
Barack Obama
We are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.
Barack Obama
I am who I am. You sort of get what you see with me.
Barack Obama
As we look forward to the New Year, let's resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share.
Barack Obama
To the extent that we've got a fiscal crisis right now, part of it is prompted by a bullheaded insistence on the part of the president, for example, that we should extend all of his tax cuts, make all of them permanent.
Barack Obama
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
Barack Obama
We cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself.
Barack Obama
All Americans should be deeply troubled by the fatal shootings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. We've seen such tragedies far too many times, and our hearts go out to the families and communities who've suffered such a painful loss.
Barack Obama
One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.
Barack Obama
If poverty is a disease that infects the entire community in the form of unemployment and violence, failing schools and broken homes, then we can't just treat those symptoms in isolation . We have to heal that entire community.
Barack Obama
I'm not somebody who is always comfortable with language that implies I've got a monopoly on the truth, or that my faith is automatically transferable to others.
Barack Obama
I get letters from [people getting insurance] right now. You saved my child's life. I did not have to sell my home when my wife got sick. And that is what, as a policy maker, I'm trying to achieve during the short period of time that I'm here.
Barack Obama
I think the Turks' willingness to take seriously action on the borders to stop the flow of foreign fighters joining ISIL is significant.
Barack Obama
We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.
Barack Obama
There was a time when if you had a financial crisis in Southeast Asia somewhere, it had no impact on our markets. Today it does.
Barack Obama
We are defined not by our borders but by our bonds.
Barack Obama
