Barack Obama
The degree of polarization that currently exists in Washington is such where I think it's fair to say if I presented a cure for cancer, getting legislation passed to move that forward would be a nail-biter.
Barack Obama
Time is running out for Iran to address the international community's growing concerns about its nuclear program.
Barack Obama
We [USA] don't have diplomatic leverage to eliminate every vestige of a peaceful nuclear program in Iran. What we do have the leverage to do is to make sure that they don't have a weapon.
Barack Obama

I think that what is true is that the Russians intended to meddle, and they meddled. And it could be another country in the future.
Barack Obama
We run everything to ground. If you see something, say something. Report your concerns to law enforcement. They will be looked at, they will be reviewed.
Barack Obama
