Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism have
reduced the pace of military transformation and have revealed our lack
of preparation for defensive and stability operations. This
Administration has overextended our military.
BARACK OBAMA
Over the last 15 months, weÕve traveled to every corner of the United States. IÕve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.
BARACK OBAMA
People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time.
BARACK OBAMA
Poorly secured nuclear material in the former Soviet Union, or secrets
from a scientist in Pakistan could help build a bomb that detonates in
Paris.
The poppies in Afghanistan become the heroin in Berlin. The
poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow.
BARACK OBAMA
The Bush Administration's failure to be consistently involved in
helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong
for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our
standing in the Arab world.
BARACK OBAMA
The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.
BARACK OBAMA
There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.
BARACK OBAMA
There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America - there's the United States of America.
BARACK OBAMA
There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.

This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably.
Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.
BARACK OBAMA
This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands.
BARACK OBAMA
Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms.
If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction.
BARACK OBAMA
Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy.
Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
BARACK OBAMA
We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen.
BARACK OBAMA
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
BARACK OBAMA
We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.
BARACK OBAMA
We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges.
BARACK OBAMA
We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.
BARACK OBAMA
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
BARACK OBAMA
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
BARACK OBAMA
We're not going to baby sit a civil war.
BARACK OBAMA
What Washington needs is adult supervision.
BARACK OBAMA
When we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism.
But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one from nature, not humans - an avian flu pandemic.
BARACK OBAMA
Where the stakes are the highest, in the war on terror, we cannot possibly succeed without extraordinary international cooperation.
Effective international police actions require the highest degree of intelligence sharing, planning and collaborative enforcement.
BARACK OBAMA
Why can't I just eat my waffle?
BARACK OBAMA
With the changing economy, no one has lifetime employment. But community colleges provide lifetime employability.
BARACK OBAMA
You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
