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.)

„Mától össze kell szedjük, le kell poroljuk magunkat és hozzá el kell kezdenünk Amerika újraformálásához.”

Barack Obama

2009, Transzban Amerika című beszédében

„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

„Olyan reformot hajtunk végre, amely csökkenti a költségeket, választási lehetőséget ad, és olyan (egészségügyi) lefedettséget biztosít, amire minden amerikaira számíthat. És ezt idén megcsináljuk…”

„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

“I believe Africa’s progress will also depend on democracy, because Africans, like people everywhere, deserve the dignity of being in control of their own lives. We all know what the ingredients of real democracy are. They include free and fair elections, but also freedom of speech and the press, freedom of assembly. These rights are universal. […] And I have to proclaim, democracy is not just formal elections. When journalists are put behind bars for doing their jobs, or activists are threatened as governments crack down on civil society then you may have democracy in name, but not in substance. And I'm convinced that nations cannot realize the full promise of independence until they fully protect the rights of their people.”

2015, Remarks to the People of Africa (July 2015)

“My name may not be on the ballot, but our progress is on the ballot. Tolerance is on the ballot. Democracy is on the ballot. Justice is on the ballot. Good schools are on the ballot. Ending mass incarceration – that's on the ballot right now! And there is one candidate who will advance those things. And there's another candidate whose defining principle, the central theme of his candidacy is opposition to all that we've done. There's no such thing as a vote that doesn't matter. It all matters. And after we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community, I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good sendoff? Go vote.”

“And so tomorrow, as we take the campaign South and West; as we learn that the struggles of the textile workers in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas; that the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of L. A.; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people, we are one nation. And, together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story, with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea: Yes, we can.”

“My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential.”

2004, Democratic National Convention speech (July 2004)

“As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.”

2009, First Inaugural Address (January 2009)

“The questions we face today -- how to promote equality and justice; how to uphold freedom and human rights; how to end conflict and sectarian war -- these things do not have easy answers. But there were no easy answers in front of that child born in World War I. Nelson Mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. South Africa shows that is true. South Africa shows we can change, that we can choose a world defined not by our differences, but by our common hopes. We can choose a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and justice and opportunity.”

The education for our children. Dignity for our seniors. Equal rights for all of our citizens. Health care -- which is now a right for everybody. And the care and well-being of our veterans and your families. That is a responsibility for all of us, not just a few. We all have to do our part.”

2016, Convention (August 2016)

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, a lot like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

“One of the great things about America is that individual citizens and groups of citizens can petition their government, can protest, can speak truth to power. And that is sometimes messy and controversial. But because of that ability to protest and engage in free speech, America, over time, has gotten better. We've all benefited from that.

The abolition movement was contentious. The effort for women to get the right to vote was contentious and messy. There were times when activists might have engaged in rhetoric that was overheated and occasionally counterproductive. But the point was to raise issues so that we, as a society, could grapple with it. The same was true with the Civil Rights Movement, the union movement, the environmental movement, the anti-war movement during Vietnam. And I think what you're seeing now is part of that longstanding tradition.

What I would say is this -- that whenever those of us who are concerned about fairness in the criminal justice system attack police officers, you are doing a disservice to the cause. First of all, any violence directed at police officers is a reprehensible crime and needs to be prosecuted. But even rhetorically, if we paint police in broad brush, without recognizing that the vast majority of police officers are doing a really good job and are trying to protect people and do so fairly and without racial bias, if our rhetoric does not recognize that, then we're going to lose allies in the reform cause.

Now, in a movement like Black Lives Matter, there's always going to be some folks who say things that are stupid, or imprudent, or overgeneralized, or harsh. And I don't think that you can hold well-meaning activists who are doing the right thing and peacefully protesting responsible for everything that is uttered at a protest site.”

“That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted — or at least, most of the time.”

“We stand together because we believe that upholding peace and security is the responsibility of every nation. The days of empire and spheres of influence are over. Bigger nations must not be allowed to bully the small, or impose their will at the barrel of a gun or with masked men taking over buildings. And the stroke of a pen can never legitimize the theft of a neighbor’s land. So we will not accept Russia’s occupation of Crimea or its violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty. Our free nations will stand united so that further Russian provocations will only mean more isolation and costs for Russia. Because after investing so much blood and treasure to bring Europe together, how can we allow the dark tactics of the 20th century to define this new century?”

2014, 25th Anniversary of Polish Freedom Day Speech (June 2014)

“Young people in the audience today, young people like Laura, were born in a place and a time where there is less conflict, more prosperity and more freedom than any time in human history. But that’s not because man’s darkest impulses have vanished. Even here, in Europe, we’ve seen ethnic cleansing in the Balkans that shocked the conscience. The difficulties of integration and globalization, recently amplified by the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, strained the European project and stirred the rise of a politics that too often targets immigrants or gays or those who seem somehow different. While technology has opened up vast opportunities for trade and innovation and cultural understanding, it’s also allowed terrorists to kill on a horrifying scale. Around the world, sectarian warfare and ethnic conflicts continue to claim thousands of lives. And once again, we are confronted with the belief among some that bigger nations can bully smaller ones to get their way -- that recycled maxim that might somehow makes right. So I come here today to insist that we must never take for granted the progress that has been won here in Europe and advanced around the world, because the contest of ideas continues for your generation. And that’s what’s at stake in Ukraine today. Russia’s leadership is challenging truths that only a few weeks ago seemed self-evident -- that in the 21st century, the borders of Europe cannot be redrawn with force, that international law matters, that people and nations can make their own decisions about their future.”

“Well, first of all, let me say that I have never used Twitter. I noticed that young people — they're very busy with all these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone. But I am a big believer in technology and I'm a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information. I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves. That generates new ideas. It encourages creativity. And so I've always been a strong supporter of open Internet use. I'm a big supporter of non-censorship.”
