Rede an der Universität Kairo am 4. Juni 2009, Handelsblatt 4. Juni 2009 http://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/international/barack-obama-obamas-grosses-versprechen-seite-3/3191220-3.html <br class="br">Original engl.: &quot;elections alone do not make true democracy.&quot; - s:el:A New Beginning.<br>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: &quot;Aber Wahlen allein schaffen doch noch keine Demokratie&quot;, 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: &quot;elections alone do not guarantee democracy [...] direct elections alone cannot be equated with democracy&quot;, und in einer britischen Publikation Our Times (vol. 4, p. 164) unter dem Datum February 13-17, 1939 als Überschrift: &quot; Elections Alone Do Not Make Democracies https://books.google.de/books?id=nPscAQAAMAAJ&amp;q=democracies&quot;&quot;.

„Eine gewaltlose Bewegung hätte Hitlers Armeen nicht aufhalten können. Verhandlungen können die Anführer der Al Kaida nicht überzeugen, ihre Waffen niederzulegen. Es ist kein Aufruf zum Zynismus, wenn man sagt, dass Gewalt manchmal notwendig sein kann – es ist eine Anerkennung der Geschichte, der Unvollkommenheit des Menschen und der Grenzen der Vernunft.“

Barack Obama

Rede bei der Entgegennahme des Friedensnobelpreises http://blogs.usembassy.gov/amerikadienst/2009/12/10/obama-bei-seiner-auszeichnung-mit-dem-friedensnobelpreis/ am 10. Dezember 2009 <br class="br">&quot;Evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler&#x27;s armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda&#x27;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.&quot; - http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/obama-lecture_en.html

Barack Obama: Zitate auf Englisch

“I've been left at the altar now a couple of times.”

Barack Obama

On the progress with debt ceiling negotiations. USA Today (July 23, 2011): Debt talks crisis: Boehner, Obama trading blame http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2011-07-22-obama-boehner-debt-talks_n.htm?csp=34news <br class="br">2011, Remarks on the economy (July 2011)

“I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime — two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.”

Barack Obama

2008, Election victory speech (November 2008)

“How does America find its way in this new, global economy? What will our place in history be? Like so much of the American story, once again, we face a choice. Once again, there are those who believe that there isn’t much we can do about this as a nation. That the best idea is to give everyone one big refund on their government—divvy it up by individual portions, in the form of tax breaks, hand it out, and encourage everyone to use their share to go buy their own health care, their own retirement plan, their own child care, their own education, and so on. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society. But in our past there has been another term for it—Social Darwinism—every man or woman for him or herself. It’s a tempting idea, because it doesn’t require much thought or ingenuity. It allows us to say that those whose health care or tuition may rise faster than they can afford—tough luck. It allows us to say to the Maytag workers who have lost their job—life isn’t fair. It let’s us say to the child who was born into poverty—pull yourself up by your bootstraps. And it is especially tempting because each of us believes we will always be the winner in life’s lottery, that we’re the one who will be the next Donald Trump, or at least we won’t be the chump who Donald Trump says: “You’re fired!” But there is a problem. It won’t work. It ignores our history. It ignores the fact that it’s been government research and investment that made the railways possible and the internet possible. It’s been the creation of a massive middle class, through decent wages and benefits and public schools that allowed us all to prosper. Our economic dependence depended on individual initiative. It depended on a belief in the free market; but it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, the idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we’re all in it together and everybody’s got a shot at opportunity. That’s what’s produced our unrivaled political stability.”

“Our immediate task, however, is the critical work of confronting the economic crisis. As I've said, we've passed through an era of profound irresponsibility; now we cannot afford half-measures, and we cannot go back to the kind of risk-taking that leads to bubbles that inevitably bust. So we have a choice. We can shape our future, or let events shape it for us. And if we want to succeed, we can't fall back on the stale debates and old divides that won't move us forward.”
