A bit of
Barack Hussein Obama II |
|
| I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody. | |
| You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt. | |
| What Washington needs is adult supervision. | |
| I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class. | |
| The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam. | |
| You will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime. | |
| What do you think a stimulus is? It's spending - that's the whole point! Seriously. | |
| The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them. | |
| The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable. | |
| We need earmark reform, and when I'm President, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely | |
| We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated. | |
| We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen. | |
| We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible | |
| We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States. | |
| What I worry about would be that you essentially have two chambers, the House and the Senate, but you have simply, majoritarian, absolute power on either side. And that's just not what the founders intended. | |
| With the changing economy, no one has lifetime employment. But community colleges provide lifetime employability. | |
| We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent. | |
| Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago. | |
| Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction | |
| This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. | |
| There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America. | |
| The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife. | |
| The Bush Administration's failure to be consistently involved in helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our standing in the Arab world. | |
| No one is pro-abortion. | |
| My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. | |
| My administration is the only thing between you [CEO's] and the pitchforks. | |
| Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference. | |
| It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent. | |
| It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. | |
| Issues are never simple. One thing I'm proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues. | |
| I don't take a dime of their [lobbyist] money, and when I am president, they won't find a job in my White House. | |
| My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington. | |
| 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. | |
| Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. | |
| I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear. | |
| I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator. | |
