Poorly secured nuclear material in the former Soviet Union, or secrets from a scientist in Pakistan could help build a bomb that detonates in Paris. The poppies in Afghanistan become the heroin in Berlin. The poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow.

Barack Obama, (2008). “Change We Can Believe In”, p.274, Canongate Books

We will not apologise for our way of life.

Politics, Way

Inauguration speech, news.bbc.co.uk. January 20, 2009.

We do not want to keep our troops in Afghanistan. We see no military - we seek no military bases there. It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and now Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can.

Military, Home, Men

A New Beginning: Speech at Cairo University, delivered 4 June 2009, Cairo, Egypt

As soon as the recovery is well under way, we need to set up a long-term plan to reduce the structural deficit and make sure we are not leaving a mountain of debt for the next generation.

Recovery, Long, Leaving

"FACTBOX: Obama comments on economic issues". Reuters, www.reuters.com. November 26, 2008.

This kind of inequality - a level that we haven’t seen since the Great Depression - hurts us all. When middle-class families can no longer afford to buy the goods and services that businesses are selling...it drags down the entire economy from top to bottom. America was built on the idea of broad-based prosperity... That’s why a CEO like Henry Ford made it his mission to pay his workers enough so that they could buy the cars he made. It’s also why a recent study showed that countries with less inequality tend to have stronger and steadier economic growth over the long run.

Running, Country, Hurt

Barack Obama's Remarks on the Economy in Osawatomie, Kansas, obamawhitehouse.archives.gov. December 6, 2011.

Inequality also distorts our democracy. It gives an outsized voice to the few who can afford high-priced lobbyists and unlimited campaign contributions, and runs the risk of selling out our democracy to the highest bidder. And it leaves everyone else rightly suspicious that the system in Washington is rigged against them - that our elected representatives aren't looking out for the interests of most Americans.

Running, Voice, Giving

"Obama Meets Occupy Wall Street" by Siddhartha Mahanta, www.motherjones.com. December 6, 2011.

This kind of gaping inequality gives lie to the promise that’s at the very heart of America: that this is a place where you can make it if you try. We tell people - we tell our kids - that in this country, even if you’re born with nothing, work hard and you can get into the middle class. We tell them that your children will have a chance to do even better than you do. That’s why immigrants from around the world historically have flocked to our shores.

Country, Children, Lying

Barack Obama's Remarks on the Economy in Osawatomie, Kansas, obamawhitehouse.archives.gov. December 6, 2011.

My expectation would be that if we can begin discussions soon, shortly after the Iranian elections, we should have a fairly good sense by the end of the year as to whether they are moving in the right direction.

Moving, Should Have, Years

Joint Press Meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, delivered 18 May 2009

The Iranians may simply try to run out the clock.

Our patience is not infinite. We're not willing to let this go on forever.

Forever, Goes On, Infinite

If Iran does not take steps in the near future to live up to its obligations, then the United States will not continue to negotiate indefinitely... Our patience is not unlimited.

Iran, United States, Doe

Barack Obama's speech on the meeting of the P5 plus 1 regarding Iran, obamawhitehouse.archives.gov. October 1, 2009.

We are in what we hope is an intensive diplomatic phase now. It will not be open-ended.

Phases, Diplomatic

I don't think that there's a hard-and-fast deadline. . . .What we have said all along is that this is not an open-ended process, we are not in this just to talk for talk's sake. . . . We expect prompt, concrete steps to be taken over the next couple of weeks.

Couple, Taken, Thinking

Iran has to live up to its international obligations. . . . The president has said that our patience is not unlimited.

Iran, President, Unlimited

In the end, no amount of American forces can solve the political differences that lie at the heart of somebody else's civil war.

"Obama says Clinton has foreign policy like Bush's" by Steve Holland, www.reuters.com. July 26, 2007.

I'm not denouncing the church, and I'm not interested in people who want me to denounce the church. It's not a church worthy of denouncing.

"Following Months Of Criticism, Obama Quits His Church" by Michael Powell, www.nytimes.com. June 1, 2008.

I am reminded every day of my life, if not by events, then by my wife, that I am not a perfect man.

Speech in Mitchell, South Dakota, June 1, 2008.

I honor, we honor the service of John McCain, and I respect his many accomplishments, even if he chooses to deny mine. My differences with him are not personal; they are with the policies he has proposed in this campaign.

Differences, Accomplishment, Honor

Democratic Nomination Victory Speech, delivered 3 June 2008, Saint Paul, Minnesota

Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.

You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.

Interview with Chris Wallace, www.realclearpolitics.com. February 3, 2009.

The presidency has a funny way of making a person feel the need to pray.

There was no such thing as Al Qaeda in Iraq, until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq.

That's silly talk... Talk to my wife. She'll tell me I need to learn to just put my socks on the hamper.

"Barack the Blessed" by Jim Geraghty, National Review, July 27, 2004.

After I received the news, Malia walked in and said, "Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it is Bo's birthday!" And then Sasha added, "Plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up." So it's good to have kids to keep things in perspective.
