The President of The United States of America who will be leaving office in November has gotten the attention of SWISSINFOAFRICA... Here are his quotes
Change will not come if we wait for some
other person or some other time. We are
the ones we've been waiting for. We are
the change that we seek.
Barack Obama
Future , Time , Sorry
The future rewards those who press on. I
don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I
don't have time to complain. I'm going to
press on.
Barack Obama
Safety , Law, Police
Understand, our police officers put their
lives on the line for us every single day.
They've got a tough job to do to maintain
public safety and hold accountable those
who break the law.
Barack Obama
Progress , Path , Walking
If you're walking down the right path and
you're willing to keep walking, eventually
you'll make progress.
Barack Obama
Patriotism , Love , Freedom
We, the People, recognize that we have
responsibilities as well as rights; that our
destinies are bound together; that a
freedom which only asks what's in it for
me, a freedom without a commitment to
others, a freedom without love or charity or
duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our
founding ideals, and those who died in
their defense.
Barack Obama
Work , Poverty , Cars
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
Marriage , Gay , Woman
I believe marriage is between a man and a
woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.
But when you start playing around with
constitutions, just to prohibit somebody
who cares about another person, it just
seems to me that's not what America's
about. Usually, our constitutions expand
liberties, they don't contract them.
Barack Obama
Life , Family , Faith
My family, frankly, they weren't folks who
went to church every week. My mother was
one of the most spiritual people I knew but
she didn't raise me in the church, so I
came to my Christian faith later in life and
it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ
spoke to me in terms of the kind of life
that I would want to lead.
Barack Obama
Success , Politics, Pride
There is probably a perverse pride in my
administration... that we were going to do
the right thing, even if short-term it was
unpopular. And I think anybody who's
occupied this office has to remember that
success is determined by an intersection in
policy and politics and that you can't be
neglecting of marketing and P.R. and
public opinion.
Barack Obama
Start , Choice , Plants
Now you have a choice: we can give more
tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs
overseas, or we can start rewarding
companies that open new plants and train
new workers and create new jobs here, in
the United States of America.
Barack Obama
Great , Christian , Values
One of the great strengths of the United
States is... we have a very large Christian
population - we do not consider ourselves
a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a
Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a
nation of citizens who are bound by ideals
and a set of values.
Barack Obama
Baby , Mistake , Teach
I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6
years old. I am going to teach them first of
all about values and morals. But if they
make a mistake, I don't want them
punished with a baby.
Barack Obama
College , Choose , Tax
If we choose to keep those tax breaks for
millionaires and billionaires, if we choose
to keep a tax break for corporate jet
owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for
oil and gas companies that are making
hundreds of billions of dollars, then that
means we've got to cut some kids off from
getting a college scholarship.
Barack Obama
War , Dumb , Oppose
I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed
to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is
a rash war.
Barack Obama
Health , Law, Vote
After a century of striving, after a year of
debate, after a his
