Barack Obama

Climate change is not some distant problem we can deal with later or wait for someone else to solve.

I just introduced this bill on nonproliferation, nuclear weapons that are out there, loose nukes in former Soviet territories.

Together, we have built the largest grassroots campaign in history for this stage of a Presidential race.

The criminal justice system is not color-blind. It does not work for all people equally. And that is why it's critical to have a president who sends a signal that we are going to have a system of justice that is not just us but is…

I just got to make clear, I got tested with Michelle when we were in Kenya, in Africa.

The criminal justice system is not colorblind. It does not work for all people equally. And that is why it's critical to have a president who sends a signal that we are going to have a system of justice that is not just us, but is…

The only person who would probably be prepared to be president on day one would be Bill Clinton, not Hillary Clinton.

I hope that College Democrats everywhere will get involved in our student organization.

Thousands of young people are getting involved in this campaign because they see it as a powerful way to change our country.

I'm pleased to see young organizers taking leadership roles at the grassroots level.

But had I been present, I would have voted against waiving the Budget Act in relation to the Gregg amendment to eliminate the 54-cents-per-gallon tariff on imported ethanol. This amendment to lift the tariff against Brazilian ethanol would…

I am looking forward to sitting down with this group of four people who are representative of the millions of voices that have been drowned out by the special interests in Washington.

I know that change is possible.

It's time to turn the page for hope.

We believe that we rise or fall as one people.

He began to find comfort in his faith, and when he left jail, he moved in with an aunt who expected him to behave well and study hard. And he did. He is now at Benedict College and will be president of the student council there next year.

My plan would also support families with children by expanding the Child Tax Credit to an additional 600,000 more Americans, who would receive $1,000 per child.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of hearing that town tell us we can't.

It has not been lost on either Michelle or myself that our family's story has been America's story - a story of opportunity, and possibility, and the tireless pursuit of a dream that was always within reach.

None of this agenda will happen overnight, nor will it be easy to get done. But then again, America's story hasn't been all that easy itself.

So, for those Americans who have been searching unsuccessfully for employment, I will invest $50 million in programs that will place willing workers into transitional jobs and train them for permanent ones.

Today, 54% of all African-American children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled since 1960.
