I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman - not me, not Bill, nobody - more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.Barack Obama
I'm no longer just a candidate. I'm the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn't return. I've shared the pain of families who've lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who've lost their jobs.Barack Obama
I am the commander in chief of the United States armed forces, and Iraq is gonna have to ultimately provide for its own security.Barack Obama

You know, one of the things I think you understand as president is you're held responsible for everything, but you don't always have control of everything, right?Barack Obama
Immigrants aren't the reason wages haven't gone up enough; those decisions are made in the boardrooms that too often put quarterly earnings over long-term returns.Barack Obama
