Barack Obama híres idézetei

„A változás nem jön el, ha másokra vagy egy alkalmasabb időpontra várunk. Mi magunk vagyunk azok, akikre eddig vártunk. Mi magunk vagyunk a változás, amelyet keresünk.”

Barack Obama

„Ha a helyes úton jársz, és hajlandó vagy folytatni a gyaloglást, végül fejlődni fogsz.”

Barack Obama

„Ha életét kizárólag a pénzkeresésre összpontosítja, az az ambíciók szegénységéről tanúskodik. Túl keveset követel magától. És ez beteljesületlenül hagyja Önt.”

Barack Obama

„Lehet, hogy a történeteink egyediek, de a célunk közös.”

Barack Obama

„Minderre képesek vagyunk, és mindezt végre fogjuk hajtani.”

Barack Obama

2009, Transzban Amerika című beszédében

„Amerika soha nem a könnyű utat, az elégedettek útját járta, ez nem a gyávák (…) hanem a kockázatot vállalók útja volt.”

Barack Obama

2009, Transzban Amerika című beszédében

Barack Obama idézetek

„Nos, néhány gyakorlati tanácsot adnék: először is mindenkit arra kérek, figyeljen arra, miket publikál a Facebookon, mivel a YouTube-korszakban bármi, amit az embert tesz, később az életében még visszaüthet. És mivel még fiatalok vagytok, ti is gyakran követtek el hibákat, és csináltok ostobaságot.”

Barack Obama

Abban a beszédében, amikor arra hívja fel a figyelmet a fiatalokra, hogy komoly veszélyeket rejt, ha túl sok információt osztunk meg idegenekkel a Facebookon vagy hasonló közösségi szájtokon.

„A műveletben egy 60 millió dollárba kerülő helikoptert áldoztunk fel. Akkor már nem engedhettük volna meg magunknak, hogy egy mérőszalagot is beszerezzünk?”

Barack Obama

mondta Barack Obama, amikor végignézte az amerikai kommandósok által megölt Oszáma bin Láden azonosítását. (A terroristavezér holtteste mellé odafeküdt az akcióban résztvevő egyik katona, hogy összehasonlíthassák őket.)

„Hosszú ideig tartott, de ma este, miután napközben, a választáson megtettük azt, amit kell, a változás eljött Amerikába.”

Barack Obama

Így kezdte november 4-én este választási győzelmi beszédét.

„Nem adjuk fel ezeket a haszonelvűség érdekében. Amerika a világon minden olyan nemzet és minden férfi, nő és gyerek barátja, amely, illetve aki a béke és méltóság elérésére törekszik". Mint mondta, Amerikát a hatalma egyedül nem képes megvédeni, és nem jogosítja fel arra, hogy kénye-kedve szerint cselekedjen, "biztonságunk ügyünk igazából, példánk erejéből fakad.”

„A gazdaság helyzete bátor és gyors cselekvést igényel, és mi cselekedni fogunk, nemcsak a munkahelyek teremtése érdekében, hanem hogy új alapot teremtsünk a növekedéshez – utakat és hidakat, elektromos hálózatokat és digitális vonalakat építünk, amelyek táplálják a kereskedelmet és összekötnek bennünket.”

Barack Obama

2009, Transzban Amerika című beszédében

„E napon befejezettnek nyilvánítjuk azokat a kicsinyes sérelmeket és hamis ígéreteket, a vádaskodásokat és elnyűtt dogmákat, amelyek túl hosszú ideje gúzsba kötötték a politikát.”

Barack Obama

„Nem én vagyok az első elnök, aki az egészségügy átalakításával foglalkozik, de én akarok lenni az utolsó!”

Barack Obama

A kongresszus mindkét háza előtt megtartott beszédében, amelyben, olyan egészségügyet akar, melyben senkit sem utasíthatnak vissza a biztosítók. A terv szerinte 900 milliárd dollárba kerül, a háborúkra többet költ ennél az Egyesült Államok. Vastapsot és "Hazudik!" bekiabálást is kapott.

Barack Obama: Idézetek angolul

“But we are here today because we know we cannot be complacent. For history travels not only forwards; history can travel backwards, history can travel sideways. And securing the gains this country has made requires the vigilance of its citizens. Our rights, our freedoms -- they are not given. They must be won. They must be nurtured through struggle and discipline, and persistence and faith. And one concern I have sometimes during these moments, the celebration of the signing of the Civil Rights Act, the March on Washington -- from a distance, sometimes these commemorations seem inevitable, they seem easy. All the pain and difficulty and struggle and doubt -- all that is rubbed away. And we look at ourselves and we say, oh, things are just too different now; we couldn’t possibly do what was done then -- these giants, what they accomplished. And yet, they were men and women, too. It wasn’t easy then. It wasn’t certain then. Still, the story of America is a story of progress. However slow, however incomplete, however harshly challenged at each point on our journey, however flawed our leaders, however many times we have to take a quarter of a loaf or half a loaf -- the story of America is a story of progress. And that’s true because of men like President Lyndon Baines Johnson.”

2014

“Now, there’s no easy answer for resolving all these social forces, and we must respect the meaning that people draw from their own traditions -- from their religion, from their ethnicity, from their sense of nationhood. But I do not believe progress is possible if our desire to preserve our identities gives way to an impulse to dehumanize or dominate another group. If our religion leads us to persecute those of another faith, if we jail or beat people who are gay, if our traditions lead us to prevent girls from going to school, if we discriminate on the basis of race or tribe or ethnicity, then the fragile bonds of civilization will fray. The world is too small, we are too packed together, for us to be able to resort to those old ways of thinking.”

“It is important at this point that Congress offer specific constructive approaches to what’s proven to be a foreign policy disaster because we’ve got too much at stake to simply stand on the sidelines and criticize…If we simply cut off funding without any structure for how a redeployment takes place, then you could genuinely have a Constitutional crisis or at least a crisis on the ground where the president continues to send troops there but now they’re being shortchanged in terms of armaments and support…The notion that as a consequence of that [2002 Congressional] authorization, the president can continue down a failed path without any constraints from Congress whatsoever is wrong and is not warranted by our Constitution.”

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

“And yet they chose a different path. In the face of hatred, they prayed for their tormentors. In the face of violence, they stood up and sat in, with the moral force of nonviolence. Willingly, they went to jail to protest unjust laws, their cells swelling with the sound of freedom songs. A lifetime of indignities had taught them that no man can take away the dignity and grace that God grants us. They had learned through hard experience what Frederick Douglass once taught -- that freedom is not given, it must be won, through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith.”

2013, "Let Freedom Ring" Ceremony (August 2013)
Kontextus: p>But we would do well to recall that day itself also belonged to those ordinary people whose names never appeared in the history books, never got on TV. Many had gone to segregated schools and sat at segregated lunch counters. They lived in towns where they couldn’t vote and cities where their votes didn’t matter. They were couples in love who couldn’t marry, soldiers who fought for freedom abroad that they found denied to them at home. They had seen loved ones beaten, and children fire-hosed, and they had every reason to lash out in anger, or resign themselves to a bitter fate.And yet they chose a different path. In the face of hatred, they prayed for their tormentors. In the face of violence, they stood up and sat in, with the moral force of nonviolence. Willingly, they went to jail to protest unjust laws, their cells swelling with the sound of freedom songs.

“What Senator McCain has lately been suggesting is that somehow I'm going to take money from people making over $250,000, and give it to people who "pay no taxes". What he's confusing is the fact that even if you don't pay income tax, there are a lot of people who don't pay income tax, but you're still paying a whole lot of other taxes. You're paying payroll tax, which is a huge burden on a lot of middle-income families. You're paying sales taxes. You're paying property taxes. There are a whole host of taxes that you're paying. So when we provide an offset to the waitress or the janitor, these folks are working.”

2012, Yangon University Speech (November 2012)

“America, this is our moment. This is our time, our time to turn the page on the policies of the past, our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face, our time to offer a new direction for this country that we love. The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.”

2017, Farewell Address (January 2017)

“What deters people from investing in most countries is conflict, corruption, and a lack of skills or infrastructure. And those countries that are able to address those problems have rule of law and eliminate corruption. Make sure that you are investing in the education of your people and it’s a continuous education; it doesn’t just stop at the lower grades, but you give people constant opportunities to upgrade their skills. You have a decent infrastructure -- you’re going to be able to succeed. That’s the recipe, the formula for a 21st-century economy.”

“But you know, we — when we feel stress, when we feel pressure, when we’re just fed information that encourages some of our worst instincts, we tend to fall back into some of the old racial fears and racial divisions and racial stereotypes, and it’s very hard for us to break out of those and to listen and to think about people as people and to imagine being in that person’s shoes. And by the way, it’s no longer a black and white issue alone. You got Hispanic folks and you got Asian folks, this is not just the same old battles that — we’ve got this stew that’s bubbling up from people everywhere and we’re going to have to make sure that we in our own lives and our own families and work places do a better job of treating everybody with basic respect and understanding that not everybody starts off in the same situation and imaging what would it be like if you were born in an inner city and had no job prospects anywhere within a 20 mile radius or how does it feel being born in some rural county where there’s no job opportunities within in a 20 mile radius and seeing those two things as connected as opposed to separate.

“We have a better story to tell. But to say that our vision for the future is better is not to say that it will inevitably win. Because history also shows the power of fear. History shows the lasting hold of greed and the desire to dominate others in the minds of men. Especially men. History shows how easily people can be convinced to turn on those who look different, or worship God in a different way. So, if we’re truly to continue Madiba’s long walk towards freedom, we’re going to have to work harder and we’re going to have to be smarter.”

2014, Statement on Cuban policy (December 2014)
Kontextus: I’m under no illusion about the continued barriers to freedom that remain for ordinary Cubans. The United States believes that no Cubans should face harassment or arrest or beatings simply because they’re exercising a universal right to have their voices heard, and we will continue to support civil society there. While Cuba has made reforms to gradually open up its economy, we continue to believe that Cuban workers should be free to form unions, just as their citizens should be free to participate in the political process.
Moreover, given Cuba’s history, I expect it will continue to pursue foreign policies that will at times be sharply at odds with American interests. I do not expect the changes I am announcing today to bring about a transformation of Cuban society overnight. But I am convinced that through a policy of engagement, we can more effectively stand up for our values and help the Cuban people help themselves as they move into the 21st century.

“I’ve instructed Secretary Kerry to immediately begin discussions with Cuba to reestablish diplomatic relations that have been severed since January of 1961. Going forward, the United States will reestablish an embassy in Havana, and high-ranking officials will visit Cuba.
Where we can advance shared interests, we will — on issues like health, migration, counterterrorism, drug trafficking and disaster response. Indeed, we’ve seen the benefits of cooperation between our countries before. It was a Cuban, Carlos Finlay, who discovered that mosquitoes carry yellow fever; his work helped Walter Reed fight it. Cuba has sent hundreds of health care workers to Africa to fight Ebola, and I believe American and Cuban health care workers should work side by side to stop the spread of this deadly disease. Now, where we disagree, we will raise those differences directly -– as we will continue to do on issues related to democracy and human rights in Cuba. But I believe that we can do more to support the Cuban people and promote our values through engagement. After all, these 50 years have shown that isolation has not worked. It’s time for a new approach.”

2015, Remarks to the Kenyan People (July 2015)

“Every nation struggles to define citizenship. America has had great debates about these issues, and those debates continue to this day, because we’re a nation of immigrants -- people coming from every different part of the world. But what we’ve learned in the United States is that there are certain principles that are universal, apply to everybody no matter what you look like, no matter where you come from, no matter what religion you practice. The right of people to live without the threat that their families may be harmed or their homes may be burned simply because of who they are or where they come from. Only the people of this country ultimately can define your union, can define what it means to be a citizen of this country. But I have confidence that as you do that you can draw on this diversity as a strength and not a weakness. Your country will be stronger because of many different cultures, but you have to seize that opportunity. You have to recognize that strength.”

Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship, where we're counting ships. It's: What are our capabilities?”
