More From Barack Obama

The philippines made a lawful and peaceful effort to resolve their maritime claims with china using the tribunal established under the law of the sea convention (unclos). the tribunal's ruling delivered a clear and legally binding decision on maritime claims in the south china sea as they relate to china and the philippines - and that ruling should be respected. we believe this decision can and should serve as an opportunity to renew efforts to address maritime claims peacefully.
Believe Opportunity Sea
Unfortunately, the united states and a few other governments have used the war on terrorism as a way of violating human rights. i am referring to the case of the guantánamo bay prisoners. this violation of the rights of prisoners has been so unbelievable that the united nations has reminded the united states repeatedly that the treatment of prisoners should take place according to the preestablished conventions of the united nations.
War Rights Government
If the resources of different nations are treated as exclusive properties of these nations as wholes, if international economic relations, instead of being relations between individuals, become increasingly relations between whole nations organized as trading bodies, they inevitably become the source of friction and envy between whole nations.
Envy Different Body
Iran's supreme court has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons. president [hassan] rouhani has indicated iran will never develop nuclear weapons. i've made clear that we respect the right of the iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy in the context of iran meeting its obligations.
Iran People Peaceful
Without a deal [with iran], the international sanctions regime will unravel with little ability to reimpose them. with this deal, we have the possibility of peacefully resolving a major threat to regional and international security. without a deal, we risk even more war in the middle east and other countries in the region would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs, threatening a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world.
Country War Race
I don't want to use the term "nuclear weapons" because those people in iran who have authority say they are not building nuclear weapons. i make an appeal to the countries who do have nuclear weapons. they don't consider them a nuclear threat. but let's say a country that doesn't have nuclear weapons gets involved in building them, then they are told by those that already have nuclear weapons that they oppose [such a development]. where is the justice in that?

There's a void of leadership in a lot of washington. i think one of the reasons why there's so much angst across the country.
Leadership Country Thinking
Liberalism, communism, socialism are about denying individual liberty and creating a collective with a top down command-and-control government and economy. conservatives are individuals and not activists at all, and so there is no such strategy to bend, shape, and form a country.
Country Liberty Socialism
I would not be running for president if i didn't believe with all my heart that this is what the vast majority of americans want for this country. this union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected. and today, whenever i find myself feeling doubtful or cynical about this possibility, what gives me the most hope is the next generation - the young people whose attitudes and beliefs and openness to change have already made history in this election.
