Original engl.: "elections alone do not make true democracy." - s:el:A New Beginning.
Dieser Gedanke war allerdings weder neu, noch war Obama sein Urheber; vielmehr war er schon seit Jahrzehnten Gemeingut. So hatte man im SPIEGEL vom 19. März 1984 http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/print/d-13509577.html gelesen: "Aber Wahlen allein schaffen doch noch keine Demokratie", in einem Beitrag des Labourabgeordneten Bryan Gold zu der Debatte des britischen Unterhauses vom 25. März 1977 https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=1977-03-25a.1698.0: "elections alone do not guarantee democracy [...] direct elections alone cannot be equated with democracy", und in einer britischen Publikation Our Times (vol. 4, p. 164) unter dem Datum February 13-17, 1939 als Überschrift: " Elections Alone Do Not Make Democracies https://books.google.de/books?id=nPscAQAAMAAJ&q=democracies"".

"Evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler's armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda's leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force may sometimes be necessary is not a call to cynicism – it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason." - http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/obama-lecture_en.html

2015, Remarks to the People of Africa (July 2015)
Kontext: [... ] let girls learn so they grow up healthy and they grow up strong. And that will be good for families. And they will raise smart, healthy children, and that will be good for every one of your nations. Africa is the beautiful, strong women that these girls grow up to become. The single best indicator of whether a nation will succeed is how it treats its women. When women have health care and women have education, families are stronger, communities are more prosperous, children do better in school, nations are more prosperous. Look at the amazing African women here in this hall. If you want your country to grow and succeed, you have to empower your women. […] Let’s work together to stop sexual assault and domestic violence. Let’s make clear that we will not tolerate rape as a weapon of war -- it’s a crime. And those who commit it must be punished.  Let’s lift up the next generation of women leaders who can help fight injustice and forge peace and start new businesses and create jobs -- and some might hire some men, too. We’ll all be better off when women have equal futures.
