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.
Congress needs to pass a farm bill that will not only provide important disaster relief tools, but also make necessary reforms and give farmers the certainty that they deserve.
My hope is, is that Congress will feel a greater sense of urgency and be prepared to get this done immediately upon their return.
We've already designated over a hundred—1,500 counties across 32 States as disaster areas.
Today the Department of Agriculture is announcing an additional $30 million to get more water to livestock and restore land impacted by drought.
I think the American people immediately recoil against those kinds of attitudes and I think it will be very important for us to reaffirm once again that in this country, regardless of what we look like, where we come from, who we worship…
It proves that even the longest of odds are no match for our unique blend of ingenuity and determination.
We see this campaign as the American people do, as a choice between the candidates.
That’s why he's put forward a number of proposals that he would like Congress to act on now.
We want to build an economy where work pays off so that no matter what you look like or where you come from, you can make it here if you try.
There's not another country on Earth that wouldn't gladly trade places with the United States of America.
The impact that you'll have not just on our lives, but on our kids and our grandkids for decades to come is remarkable.
Our preeminence—not just in space, but here on Earth—depends on continuing to invest wisely in the innovation, technology, and basic research that has always made our economy the envy of the world.
I think all Americans feel we have a moral, sacred duty towards our men and women in uniform.
When you cast your ballot, you will have the opportunity to determine the course of this country's direction.
Tonight's success, delivered by NASA, parallels our major steps forward towards a vision for a new partnership with American companies.
It's an idea that says if you put in enough effort, if you act responsibly, then you can find a job that pays the bills.
That partnership will save taxpayer dollars while allowing NASA to do what it has always done best: push the very boundaries of human knowledge.
We need to rebuild a country where the foundations for people who were willing to act responsibly were there for them.
We are all one people, and we look after one another, and we respect one another.
