The United States, we know what happens when we start dividing ourselves along lines of race or religion or ethnicity.

We have a stake in one another...what binds us together is greater than what drives us apart.

The United States is imposing sanctions on individuals and companies working to advance Iran's ballistic missile program, and we are going to remain vigilant about it. We're not going to waver in the defense of our security or that of our allies and partners.

I'm really excited about the prospect of a woman president of the United States.

I'm named Barack Hussein Obama. I'm African-­American.

There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys.

Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.
