25 Barak Quotes - 25 Frases de Obama

Seguimos con lo que sucedio hoy ahora una recopilacion de las Frases de Obama durante su Toma Presidencial hoy.

Here are 25 excellent Barack Obama quotes, in celebration of our 44th President taking office today:

1. A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, “Huh. It works. It makes sense.”

2. That’s silly talk… Talk to my wife. She’ll tell me I need to learn to just put my socks on the hamper.

3. In a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential.



6. Michelle will tell you that when we get together for Christmas or Thanksgiving, it’s like a little mini-United Nations… I’ve got relatives who look like Bernie Mac, and I’ve got relatives who look like Margaret Thatcher… We’ve got it all.

7. For all the progress we have made, there are times when the land of our dreams recedes from us — when we are lost, wandering spirits, content with our suspicions and our angers, our long-held grudges and petty disputes, our frantic diversions and tribal allegiances. And yet, by erecting this (Martin Luther King, Jr.) monument, we are reminded that this different, better place beckons us, and that we will find it not across distant hills or within some hidden valley, but rather we will find it somewhere in our hearts.

8. We cannot afford to be a country of isolationists right now.

9. I am a prisoner of my own biography: I can’t help but view the American experience through the lens of a black man of mixed heritage, forever mindful of how generations of people who looked like me were subjugated and stigmatized, and the subtle and not so subtle ways that race and class continue to shape our lives.

10. Values are faithfully applied to the facts before us, while ideology overrides whatever facts call theory into question.

11. All the money in the world won’t boost student achievement if parents make no effort to instill in their children the values of hard work and delayed gratification.

12. For in the end laws are just words on a page- words that are sometimes malleable, opaque, as dependent on context and trust as they are in a story or poem or promise to someone, words whose meanings are subject to erosion, sometimes collapsing in the blink of an eye.


14. Nowhere is it ordained that history moves in a straight line.

15. The very interconnectivity that increasingly binds the world together has empowered those who would tear that world down.




19. Our individual salvation depends on collective salvation. Thinking only about yourself, fulfilling your immediate wants and needs, betrays a poverty of ambition.






25. The question we ask today is not how big or small our government is, but whether it works.
