There's no doubt that i'm a better president now than when i first took office. this is not a job where there's a manual, and over time you get a better sense of what's important, what's not, how to see around corners and anticipate problems, as opposed to just managing problems once they've arrived.

More From Barack Obama

I have ever been opposed to banks, - opposed to internal improvements by the general government, - opposed to distribution of public lands among the states, - opposed to taking the power from the hands of the people, - opposed to special monopolies, - opposed to a protective tariff, - opposed to a latitudinal construction of the constitution, - opposed to slavery agitation and disunion. this is my democracy. point to a single act of my public career not in keeping with these principles.

There's no doubt in my mind, though, that the iraqi people would be better off with a different leader who did not waste their oil on weapons, as opposed to education, as opposed to healthcare, as opposed to food, as opposed to roads, as opposed to clean water. it is really sinful, a crime, what saddam hussein has done with the wealth of the iraqi people over the last 30 years.

I buy a tractor two years ago, and four-fifths of the tractor manual is about not tipping over, not raising the bucket high enough to hit high-tension wire... not killing yourself, basically. and in that manual, i found out - and it cost me a thousand dollars - that when the tractor is new, 10 hours into use of the tractor, you have to re-torque the lug nuts. if you don't, you will oval the holes. this is buried between the moron warnings. i never found it. i take the tractor in for its regular servicing, and they say my wheels are gone. how am i supposed to know that? "it's in the manual."
Years Nuts Two
Most people treat the office manual the way they treat a software manual. they never look at it.

The doctor: this is bad, i don't like this. [kicks console and yells in pain] never use force, you just embarrass yourself. unless you're cross, in which case... always use force! amy: shall i run and get the manual? the doctor: i threw it in a supernova. amy: you threw the manual in a supernova? why? the doctor: because i disagreed with it! now stop talking to me when i'm cross!

Coolidge cut the budget, and even better, cut it during peace and prosperity. he left a federal budget lower than the one that greeted him when he arrived in office. he managed to freeze or cut the budget over more than five years in office. if you look at charts of presidents - nixon, ike, and reagan - you see them failing on this score.

Similar Quotes
The greatest evil is not done in those sordid dens of evil that dickens loved to paint ... but is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clear, carpeted, warmed, well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.
Cutting Men Voice
The same wind that uproots trees makes the grass shine. the lordly wind loves the weakness and the lowness of grasses. never brag of being strong. the axe doesn't worry how thick the branches are. it cuts them to pieces. but not the leaves. it leaves the leaves alone.
Strong Cutting Wind
A world is a circumscribed portion of sky... it is a piece cut off from the infinite.
Cutting Sky Pieces
Slowing down doesn't mean accomplishing less; it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.
