Barack Obama

For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.

Barack Obama

History doesn’t always move in a straight line. Sometimes it zigs and zags.

Barack Obama

Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us.

Barack Obama

How could America send men into space and still keep its black citizens in bondage?

Barack Obama

I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer’s lobby.

Barack Obama

I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us.

Barack Obama

I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, when everyone plays by the same rules.

Barack Obama

I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.

Barack Obama

I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.

Barack Obama

I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the great emancipator.
