Hi, everybody. One of the most urgent challenges of our time is climate change. We know that 2015 surpassed 2014 as the warmest year on record – and 2016 is on pace to be even hotter. When I took office, I said this was something we couldn't kick down the road any longer – that our children's future depended on our action. So, we got to work, and over the past seven-...
Hi, everybody. This weekend, we'll dedicate the newest American icon on our National Mall – the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It's a beautiful building, five stories high and some 70 feet below the ground, situated just across the street from the Washington Monument. And this museum tells a story of America that hasn't always taken a fr...
Hi, everybody. I'm going to be honest with you – one of the best parts of being President is having your own really nice plane. And I'm going to miss it. A lot. Because up until I ran for this office, I was mostly flying coach. So I know what a pain the whole process can be – from searching for the best prices to that feeling you get when the baggage carousel stops a...
Hi, everybody. This weekend, as we search for ways to bridge our differences, we look to the principles that are more enduring than politics. And some of the best examples are found in the men and women we saluted yesterday, and every day – our troops and veterans. It is the example of young Americans – our 9/11 Generation – who, as first responders ran into smoldering tower...
Hi, everybody. Eight years ago, we were in the early stages of what would become the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes. It was a scary time. We didn't even know where the bottom would be. But thanks to your hard work and your determination, and some smart decisions we made, today's a different story. We turned a recession into a record streak of job growth, crea...
Hi, everybody. On Thursday, I traveled to Pittsburgh for the White House Frontiers Conference, where some of America's leading minds came together to talk about how we can empower our people through science to lead our communities, our country, and our world into tomorrow. Plus, we had some fun. I had a chance to fly a space flight simulator where I docked a capsule on t...
Hi, everybody. On the first day of my administration, I promised to restore science to its rightful place. I told you we would unleash American innovation and technology to tackle the health challenges of our time. Over the last eight years, we've delivered on that promise in many ways, both big and small – including, of course, providing health coverage to 20 million mo...
Hi, everybody. It is the most wonderful time of the year – and not just because it's the holiday season, but because it's also open enrollment season over at HealthCare.gov. I know that was a dad joke. But this weekend, I hope seriously you'll take a moment to do something really important for yourself and your family: make sure you'll have health insurance f...
This week, I traveled to Chicago to deliver my final farewell address to the nation, following in the tradition of Presidents before me. It was an opportunity to say thank you. Whether we've seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people – in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant milita...
Since the days of George Washington, presidents have delivered some form of final message while in office – a farewell address to the American people. On Tuesday night, in Chicago, I'll deliver mine. I chose Chicago not only because it's my hometown – where I met my wife and we started a family – but also because it's really where my career in public service bega...
Hi, everybody. If you've ever played a game of basketball in a gym, or entered a contest in school, or started a small business in your hometown, you know that competition is a good thing. It pushes us to do our best. And you know that a fight is only fair when everybody has a chance to win, when the playing field is level for everybody, and the rules are clear and consi...
