Barack Hussein Obama II é um advogado e político dos Estados Unidos, o 44.º e atual presidente daquele país, sendo o primeiro afro-americano a ocupar o cargo. Nascido em Honolulu, no Havaí, Obama é graduado em Ciências Políticas pela Universidade Columbia, tendo cursado posteriormente Direito na Universidade de Harvard, onde foi presidente da Harvard Law Review. Também atuou como líder comunitário e como advogado na defesa de direitos civis e ensinou direito constitucional na escola de direito da Universidade de Chicago entre 1992 a 2004. Ele representou por três mandatos o 13.º distrito de Illinois no senado estadual, entre 1994 a 2004, tentando eleger-se, sem sucesso, ao Congresso dos Estados Unidos em 2000.

Em 2004, após vencer a primária democrata da eleição para o Senado em Illinois, ele foi convidado para fazer um discurso na Convenção Nacional Democrata daquele ano, e, com isso recebeu atenção nacional da mídia. Em novembro, foi eleito Senador com 70% dos votos. Obama começou sua campanha para a presidência em 2007 e em 2008, depois de uma apertada disputa nas primárias do partido com a também senadora Hillary Clinton, conseguiu apoio suficiente para ganhar a nomeação do Partido Democrata para a presidência dos Estados Unidos. Ele derrotou o candidato republicano John McCain na eleição presidencial de 2008, tendo sido empossado como presidente em 20 de janeiro de 2009. Nove meses depois, ganhou o Nobel da Paz.

Durante seu primeiro mandato, Obama assinou várias propostas de estimulo econômico em resposta a Grande Recessão que assolou os Estados Unidos entre 2007 e 2009, através dos projetos de lei American Recovery and Reinvestment Act de 2009. Também sancionou leis de corte de impostos para a classe média e de criação de empregos em 2010. Outras importantes iniciativas nacionais durante seu primeiro mandato incluem a Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, projeto este que passou a ser chamado de Obamacare; o Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; o Don't ask, don't tell; o Budget Control Act of 2011; e o American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Na política externa, Obama ordenou o fim do envolvimento americano na Guerra do Iraque; aumentou a quantidade de tropas americanas no Afeganistão; assinou tratados de controle de armas com a Rússia; autorizou uma intervenção armada na Guerra Civil Líbia; e ordenou uma operação militar no Paquistão que resultou na morte de Osama bin Laden.

Obama foi reeleito presidente em novembro de 2012, derrotando o republicano Mitt Romney, e foi empossado para um segundo mandato em 20 de janeiro de 2013. Durante seu segundo mandato, Obama promoveu políticas internas relacionadas com o controle de armas, em resposta ao Tiroteio na escola primária de Sandy Hook e outros massacres, e também defendeu a igualdade LGBT. Na âmbito externo, para conter a ameaça do grupo Estado Islâmico na região do Oriente Médio, ele ordenou a volta de tropas militares ao Iraque e também autorizou ataques aéreos e navais contra a Síria para combater as organizações jihadistas locais. Além disso, continuou o plano de encerramento das operações de combate americanas no Afeganistão. Também iniciou o processo de normalização das relações entre Cuba e Estados Unidos, e firmou um acordo nuclear com o Irã.

Barack Obama frases e citações

“Sim, nós podemos”

Yes, we can
Em comício na candidatura à presidência americana em 2008

Barack Obama: Frases em inglês

“Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character. But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.”

For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation and one people.
2013, Second Inaugural Address (January 2013)

“Assume that in 30 minutes you will stop being president. I will take your place. Prepare me. Teach me how to be president.”

This was the third time I’d put the question to him, in one form or another. The first time, a month earlier in this same cabin, he’d had a lot of trouble getting his mind around the idea that I, not he, was president. He’d started by saying something he knew to be dull and expected but that—he insisted—was nevertheless perfectly true. “Here is what I would tell you,” he’d said. “I would say that your first and principal task is to think about the hopes and dreams the American people invested in you. Everything you are doing has to be viewed through this prism. And I tell you what every president … I actually think every president understands this responsibility. I don’t know George Bush well. I know Bill Clinton better. But I think they both approached the job in that spirit.” Then he added that the world thinks he spends a lot more time worrying about political angles than he actually does.

“We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”

“We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.”

Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy.
2008, A More Perfect Union (March 2008)

“And so God is asking us today to remember the miracle of that baby and he's asking us, he says, "Take the bullet out!"”

If we have more black men in prison than in our colleges and universities, then it's time to take the bullet out. If we have millions of people goin' to the emergency room for treatable illnesses like asthma, it's time to take the bullet out. If too many of our kids don't have health insurance, it's time to take that bullet out. If we keep sending our kids to crumblin' school buildings, we keep fighting this war in Iraq, a war that should've never been authorized and should've never been waged, a war that costing us 20 cents — $275 million a day, that could have been invested in rebuilding communities all across this country, then it's time to take that bullet out!

“We may come from different places and have different stories, but we share common hopes, and one very American dream.”

Fonte: 2015, Supreme Court Decision on Marriage Equality (June 2015)
Contexto: I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue. Opposition in some cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs. All of us who welcome today’s news should be mindful of that fact; recognize different viewpoints; revere our deep commitment to religious freedom. But today should also give us hope that on the many issues with which we grapple, often painfully, real change is possible. Shifts in hearts and minds is possible. And those who have come so far on their journey to equality have a responsibility to reach back and help others join them. Because for all our differences, we are one people, stronger together than we could ever be alone. That’s always been our story. We are big and vast and diverse; a nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, different experiences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are or what you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love, America is a place where you can write your own destiny.
