The best decision I ever made was marrying you, @MichelleObama. For 33 years, I’ve admired your strength, grace, and determination — and the fact that you look so good doing it all. Happy anniversary!
I’m so proud of the work the @ObamaFoundation’s Girls Opportunity Alliance is doing to ensure that girls around the world can get an education. Learn more about the grassroots organizations we’re supporting on this International Day of the Girl.
I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @ObamaFoundation's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look: https://t.co/6HToVZ835M
@RealJamesWoods Why are you so obsessed? Barack Obama is not a weasel...that's a bizarre accusation as you willingly ignore the pure duplicity of Donald Trump . Too many of you want a one party system. Bowing to a faux king...not on my watch. Ever
After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.
ON THIS DAY: In 2009, President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” https://t.co/Qhee1yww52
Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
