Together we resolve that a great nation must care for the vulnerable and protect its people from life's worst hazards and misfortune.
Barack Obama

For decades, we've been told that it doesn't make economic sense to switch to renewable energy. Today, that's no longer true.

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

Germany, South Korea - these are all countries that are investing massively in education. We've got to do the same thing in America.

Too many Americans who struggle with mental health illnesses are suffering in silence rather than seeking help, and we need to see to it that men and women who would never hesitate to go see a doctor if they had a broken arm or came down with the flu, that they have that same attitude when it comes to their mental health.

We were still able to see the phone records of a potential terrorist cause, we held them, now you have to hope the phone company still has them, you have to argue with their chief counsel by the time you get access to it, and try to find out who they've been talking to before it's too late.

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

Constitution is a living document no strict constructionism.
Barack Obama
Image
We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights that our destinies are bound together that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.
Barack Obama

Climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security.
Barack Obama
Image
Effective immediately, we will only pursue phone calls that are two steps removed from a number associated with a terrorist organization instead of three.
Barack Obama
Image
If everything seems to be the same and no distinctions are made, then we won't know what to protect. We won't know what to fight for.
Barack Obama
Image
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama

What is true is [Bashar] Assad got rid of his chemical weapons.
Barack Obama

You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.

Not much happens in Russia without Vladimir Putin.
Barack Obama

In America, we then made a commitment, particularly after World War II with the GI Bill, to massively expand our commitment to college education, and that meant we had more engineers and we had more scientists and that meant we had better technology, which meant that we were more productive and we could succeed in the global marketplace.

Thanksgiving reminds us that no matter our differences, we're still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves.
