So we don't need more top-down economics. We've tried that theory. We've seen what happens. We can't afford to go back to it.

It's useful for activists just to be out there to keep you mindful and not get complacent, even if ultimately you think some of their criticism is misguided.
Barack Obama

I think that Mr. Snowden raised some legitimate concerns. How he did it was something that did not follow the procedures and practices of our intelligence community. If everybody took the approach that I make my own decisions about these issues, then it would be very hard to have an organized government or any kind of national security system.

When the economy's shrinking, providing jobs, spending on things like infrastructure can actually increase revenue and drive down debt. And then, there's going to be a time at which point debt has to be taken care of.

I get a thick book full of death, destruction, strife, and chaos. That's what I take with my morning tea.

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.

So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.
Barack Obama

We continue to urge China and other claimants to work constructively to resolve these disagreements, so that the South China Sea - which is so vital to the global economy - can be defined by commerce and cooperation.
Barack Obama

We want our children to live in an America...that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.
Barack Obama

What we may think is funny or cute may end up being powerfully hurtful.
Barack Obama

There isn't anyone who can't serve ... nobody who can't help somebody else.

Each wave of immigrants that have come in have been able to assimilate, integrate and then rise up and become part of this great American Dream.

Certainly I've appreciated Angela Merkel as a partner.

The science [of global warming] is beyond dispute... Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response

Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too.

People are discouraged from voting and part of what is important for Latino citizens is to make your voice heard, because you're not just speaking for yourself. You're speaking for family members, friends, classmates of yours in school.

I strongly agree with Vice President Gore that we cannot drill our way to energy independence, but must fast-track investments in renewable sources of energy like solar power, wind power and advanced biofuels...
Barack Obama

America can't provide health care to people who need it. We can't invest in science and technology, which will determine whether or not we are going to be competitive in the long term. There has never been a country on Earth that saw its economy decline and yet maintained its military superiority.

Let's say I'm on the policy wonk end of the spectrum. As much as I can dive into a briefing book and really work to master various subjects that come before my desk, I'm still not an expert on a huge amount of the stuff that we work on.
