More quotes by Barack Obama
Clem (Clementa Pinckney) understood that justice grows out of recognition of ourselves, in each other.
Barack Obama
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.
Barack Obama
I'm going to insist on making sure that we've got decent funding, that we've got enough teachers, that we've got computers in the classroom, but unless you turn off the television set and get over a certain anti-intellectualism that I think pervades some low-income communities, our children are not going to achieve.
Barack Obama
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help... Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business - you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
Barack Obama
Nowhere is it ordained that history moves in a straight line.
Barack Obama
I would say that I have been consistent in my broad view of how American power should be deployed, and the view that we underestimate our power when we restrict it to just our military power. We shortchange our influence and our ability to shape events when that's the only tool we think we have in the toolbox.
Barack Obama
[White House] feels even more like home now because you have all these memories that were formed watching your kids grow up.
Barack Obama
We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations
Barack Obama
The president and the executive branch are always going to have greater latitude and greater authority when it comes to protecting America because sometimes you just have to respond quickly and not everything that is a danger can be publicized and be subject to open debate, but there have to be some guardrails.
Barack Obama
Yes, we can. Yes, we can change. Yes, we can.
Barack Obama
We don't have this huge footprint, we are less likely to be targeted as, you know, occupiers [in Afghanistan and Iraq].
Barack Obama
This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.
Barack Obama
Angela Merkel has been an extraordinary partner for me and for the United States throughout my presidency.
Barack Obama
Our environment is too important to neglect and it's time for the federal government to focus on real solutions and live up to their promises.
Barack Obama
It is easy to get to a higher number when you are not asking anything difficult from yourself.
Barack Obama
I think where I get frustrated at times was the belief that the president can do anything if he just decides he wants to do it.
Barack Obama
Now, I've lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago no matter what some folks say. You can see it not just in statistics, you see it in the attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum. But we're not where we need to be. And all of us have more work to do.
Barack Obama
Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it...The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented.
Barack Obama
What is portrayed as high-minded positions on issues sometimes is just designed to carve out some of their commercial interests.
Barack Obama
There is no doubt that thanks to the steps that we took early on to rescue our economy and to rebuild it on a new foundation, we are entering into the new year with new confidence that America is coming back.
Barack Obama
