I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.
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.
There's a set of assertions made by Senator Clinton, as well as her husband.
My core belief is that people desperately want coverage. They desperately want it.
What she said wasn't true. We account for every single dollar that we propose.
What I said was is that Ronald Reagan was a transformative political figure because he was able to get Democrats to vote against their economic interests to form a majority to push through their agenda, an agenda that I objected to.
African-Americans should vote for what's best for them, their children, and this country.
When Senator Clinton said -- President Clinton says that I wasn't opposed to the war from the start or says it's a fairy tale that I opposed the war. That is simply not true.
If I were starting from scratch, if we didn't have a system in which employers typically provided health care, I would probably go with a single payer system.
When Senator Clinton says -- or President Clinton says that I wasn't opposed to the war from the start or says it's a fairy tale that I opposed the war, that is simply not true.
We have got to appeal to Independents and Republicans in order to build a working majority to move an agenda forward.
He understands our challenges and has a thoughtful plan to enable us to realize our opportunities.
