– Barack Obama

It Took A Lot Of Blood, Sweat And Tears To Get To Where We Are Today, But We Have Just Begun. Today We Begin In Earnest The Work Of Making Sure That The World We Leave Our Children Is Just A Little Bit Better Than The One We Inhabit Today.

Now We’re In The Midst Of Not Just Advocating For Change, Not Just Calling For Change – We’re Doing The Grinding, Sometimes Frustrating Work Of Delivering Change – Inch By Inch, Day By Day.

As I Said Last Week In The Wake Of The Grand Jury Decision, I Think Ferguson Laid Bare A Problem That Is Not Unique To St. Louis Or That Area, And Is Not Unique To Our Time, And That Is A Simmering Distrust That Exists Between Too Many Police Departments And Too Many Communities Of Color.

Of Course, There Is No Question That Libya – And The World – Will Be Better Off With Gaddafi Out Of Power.

– Barack Obama

Ours Is A Nation Of Laws: Of Citizens Who Live Under Them And For The Citizens Who Enforce Them.

Let’s Seek To Heal Rather Than To Wound Each Other.

It’s One Of The Few Regrets Of My Presidency – That The Rancor And Suspicion Between The Parties Has Gotten Worse Instead Of Better.

– Barack Obama

What I’m Asking For Is Hard. It’s Easier To Be Cynical; To Accept That Change Isn’t Possible, And Politics Is Hopeless, And To Believe That Our Voices And Actions Don’t Matter. But If We Give Up Now, Then We Forsake A Better Future.

We Have Now Just Enshrined, As Soon As I Sign This Bill, The Core Principle That Everybody Should Have Some Basic Security When It Comes To Their Healthcare.

– Barack Obama

After A Century Of Trying, We Declared That Healthcare In America Is Not A Privilege For A Few, It Is A Right For Everybody. After Decades Of Talk, We Finally Began To Wean Ourselves Off Foreign Oil.

– Barack Obama

Eight Years Ago, You May Remember Hillary And I Were Rivals For The Democratic Nomination. We Battled For A Year And A Half. Let Me Tell You, It Was Tough, Because Hillary Was Tough. I Was Worn Out. She Was Doing Everything I Was Doing, But Just Like Ginger Rogers, It Was Backwards In Heels.

– 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.

That’s What I See. That’s The America I Know!

That Is America. That Is America. Those Bonds Of Affection; That Common Creed. We Don’t Fear The Future; We Shape It. We Embrace It, As One People, Stronger Together Than We Are On Our Own.

– Barack Obama

Through Every Victory And Every Setback, I’ve Insisted That Change Is Never Easy And Never Quick; That We Wouldn’t Meet All Of Our Challenges In One Term, Or One Presidency, Or Even In One Lifetime.

– Barack Obama

We Need To Keep Making Our Streets Safer And Our Criminal Justice System Fairer – Our Homeland More Secure, Our World More Peaceful And Sustainable For The Next Generation.

– Barack Obama

We’re Not A Fragile People. We’re Not A Frightful People. Our Power Doesn’t Come From Some Self-Declared Savior Promising That He Alone Can Restore Order As Long As We Do Things His Way. We Don’t Look To Be Ruled.

– Barack Obama

Yes, We’ve Still Got More Work To Do. More Work To Do For Every American Still In Need Of A Good Job Or A Raise, Paid Leave Or A Decent Retirement; For Every Child Who Needs A Sturdier Ladder Out Of Poverty Or A World-Class Education; For Everyone Who Has Not Yet Felt The Progress Of These Past Seven And A Half Years.

– Barack Obama
