"I don't know what the word is..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away.”

“This is our first task-caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged.”

“I think it's fair to say that my temperament is steady - and on the buoyant side.”

“I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.”

“You can't fight City Hall, but you can goddamn sure blow it up.”

“I tell ya, I know the best way to get girls. I hang out at women's prisons, and wait for parolees.”

“Avoid an unusual and unfamiliar word just as you would a reef.”

“Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.”

“Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.”
