Barack Obama
The Public Record
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Illinois in the U.S. Senate from 2005 to 2008 and served in the Illinois State Senate from 1997 to 2004. Obama is known for his signature policies including the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and his efforts in economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis. His presidency was marked by significant legislative achievements and a focus on healthcare reform, climate change, and foreign policy initiatives such as the Iran nuclear deal.
These are the policies I will pursue so that older Americans can continue living the longer, better, more productive lives that they have every right to expect.
Privatizing Social Security was a bad idea when George Bush proposed it, and it's a bad idea today.
I welcome news that the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has now reached a consensus to adopt an exception to its rules that would permit its members to engage in nuclear cooperation with India.
I'm running for President because I believe this election is all about the issues.
John McCain's answer is more of the same: $200 billion in tax cuts to big corporations and oil companies, and not one dime of tax relief to more than 100 million middle-class families.
You would think that George Bush and his potential Republican successor, John McCain, would be spending a lot of time worrying about the economy and all these jobs that are being lost on their watch. But if you watched the Republican…
When they say this isn't about issues, it's about personalities. What they're really saying is we're going to scare people about Barack.
Our airlines have a responsibility to their workers and passengers to come back to the bargaining table so that union members can go back to work.
Today, I stand with the airline service workers on strike at Los Angeles International Airport.
For the airline industry, meeting these demands is inextricably tied to passenger safety, quality service, and the health of our economy.
I welcome the Bush Administration's announcement of $1 billion in humanitarian and economic assistance to Georgia.
The United States and our allies must stand firm in supporting Georgia's economic and political stability, and opposing Russia's efforts to undermine Georgia's democratically-elected government.
Today's decision to answer our call for $1 billion in assistance is an important step forward in supporting the people of Georgia and standing up to Russia's aggression.
One of the pledges that I have made when I was a senator, and one of the pledges that I intend to keep as president, is to make sure that we rebuild New Orleans and its vitality and its place in American culture.
I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years.
I think it's important to understand that it's going to take probably a couple of days before people are able to make a clear assessment that the levees held and that things are safe.
I'm going to be staying on FEMA and other relevant federal agencies to make sure that people are getting the relief that they need.
