I don't want the Obama era to be more about symbolism than substance when it comes to black people. I love him, but I love black people even more.
I've never encountered someone in public life who has less desire to hold office than Michelle Obama, though she is incredibly gifted at retail politics.
I campaigned for Hillary Clinton when she was in the primaries against [Barack] Obama, actually.
It's possible that the 2012 general-election race will be the least overtly religious one since 1972, the last campaign before Roe v. Wade and the rise of Jimmy Carter brought evangelicalism into the political mainstream. That's because faith remains a complicated issue for Obama, who is still wrongly thought to be a Muslim in some quarters.
A lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama.
Most small-business owners will tell you they don't want Obama 'boosting' them. They just want him to get out of the way.
Governor Pence said, inarguably, Vladimir Putin is a better leader than President Obama.
I think that is also something he [Barack Obama], in the beginning of his presidency, he couldn't really explore and couldn't show. He had to be almost a one-dimensional, stoic leader during that first election.
[Barack] Obama seems to have no firm principles that I can discern that he will adhere to.
President Obama has moved millions of people out. Nobody knows about it, nobody talks about it. But under Obama, millions of people have been moved out of America. They've been deported. Hillary Clinton doesn't want to say that, but that's what's happened, and that's what happened big league.
Obama is a human wrecking ball single-handedly destroying our economy and bankrupting the nation.
When I first heard that Barack Obama was going to be the first black president, I wanted to do the smallest, biggest tribute in history.
Chicago has always been a very segregated city and Mt. Greenwood is an example of that. I can't say I've seen organized white-supremacist growth, but I have seen racial tensions increase. I think we've all seen that. In the Barack Obama presidency, especially, the far right has considered diversity a code word for white genocide.
How do we get America back to work? President Obama thinks the answer is more and more government. Government is not the answer. You are not doing anyone a favor by creating dependency, destroying individual responsibility.
I would feel safe with my husband as president. I think Barack Obama is a fine man, I think Michelle Obama is a fine woman. This is about who would be better and I think my husband would be better.
Electoral politics was always an objective of the Black Panther party, so Barack Obama is a part of what we dreamed and struggled and died for.
In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama, and the United States of America.
There are a few obvious consequences and perhaps one subtle possibility. One obvious thing is that, to stimulate the economy, President Obama has committed to creating millions of green jobs that will leave a legacy - much as Roosevelt's public works did during the new deal.
Barack Obama is president of a superpower and I'm a citizen of a small state.
Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.
