"I think that America has to stand..." - Quote by Barack Obama

“No two countries are identical, and obviously, there's a difference between a referendum on a very complex relationship between Great Britain and the rest of Europe, and a presidential election in the United States.”

“People need to remember we are the governing party because we have diversity of opinion in our party. We're not pure. We have moderates and we have more progressives.”

“With the magnitude of the challenges we face right now, what we need in Washington are not more political tactics, we need more good ideas. We don't need more point scoring, we need more problem solving.”

“Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.”

“It [concentration of wealth and power] has been a menace to . . . American democracy.”

“[T]here is only one sound argument for democracy, and that is the argument that it is a crime for any man to hold himself out as better than other men, and, above all, a most heinous offense for him to prove it.”

“Now let me make it clear that I believe there can only be one defense policy for the United States and that is summed up in the word 'first.' I do not mean first, but. I do not mean first, when. I do not mean first, if. I mean first - period.”

“If you want to die, don't make a mistake and not quite kill yourself because the medical bills in America are hideous.”

“When all Americans are treated as equal we are all more free.”
