Especially for NRA members, it was obvious from the get-go that Obama believes he is above any constitutional restraints.
Because we spoke so loudly, opponents of reproductive health access demonized and smeared me and others on the public airwaves. These smears are obvious attempts to distract from meaningful policy discussions and to silence women’s voices regarding their own health care.
It’s obvious that the key problem facing humanity in the coming century is how to bring a better quality of life – for 8 billion or more people – without wrecking the environment entirely in the attempt.
A lot of guys are known for the stuff they do off the golf course and who they like to hang around. It’s pretty obvious who’s doing that and who isn’t.
I have never understood models. I find it really hard to find beauty in that or to discover beauty because the beauty was so obvious.
I make a model of the site. There are some obvious things: where the entrance should be, where the cars have to go in. You start to get the scale of it. You understand the client’s needs, and what the client is hoping for and yearning for.
Putin probably, almost certainly, thinks that one of the great disasters of the 20th century was the demise of the Soviet Union. It’s very obvious that he’s trying to work its way back and maintain something similar to that sort of institution.
I think it’s obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
My main expertise is in the past, but if I have to extrapolate into the future, I would say: no good news any time soon and an obvious exit strategy is not apparent to me.
For nearly a decade, I thought it was obvious that I was poor.
I learned how to cook, began reading books on food. I began to understand about nutrition. It never had occurred to me that what you ate could affect how you felt. It could affect your health. It seems obvious now, but at age 23 or 22 or whatever I was, it wasn’t obvious at all.
I wrote the first book, Harvest of Stars, and as I was writing it, I saw that certain implications had barely been touched on… It’s perfectly obvious that two completely revolutionary things are going on, with cybernetics, and biological science.
For me, the dialogue is the easiest part of writing. It just always seems so obvious what a character will say. Maybe it’s because I talk too much!
Lifting the veil of secrecy that shrouds police misconduct allegations would seem like an obvious democratic value. After all, if police work for the people, should they not be answerable to the people, as well? This is a basic tenet of good government.
The Conservatives are a confusing lot. They first denied climate change was a serious issue and then suggested strengthening the nuclear industry as a solution to it. They oppose the European Union, but support joining North American Free Trade Agreement, despite its obvious failure.
I don’t tend to write when I’m happy, which I think is pretty obvious.
When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
Getting out any weekly magazine requires many hours of reading, choosing, discarding, and thinking beyond the obvious.
As obvious as it sounds, I strongly recommend shopping at a specialty bike store. They are the experts, and they will be able to help you decide which bike is best for you.
At age 12, it was obvious. I had to go to Space Camp.
On a daily basis, I think it’s really important to be conscious of gender-based discrimination – which presents in sometimes more, but often less, obvious forms – and do everything possible to defeat that discrimination.
What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
Throughout his eight years in office, Barack Obama endured a campaign of illegitimacy waged either by pluralities or majorities of the Republican party. Donald Trump rooted his candidacy in that campaign. It’s fairly obvious.
When you read that UBS did not even view parts of its mortgage portfolio as having market risk, it becomes very obvious that a number of firms were not dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s when it comes to risk management.
Los Angeles for many years had operated with a police department that was far smaller than other police departments had in areas of comparable or larger size, New York and Chicago being the most obvious examples.
The need for a non-veteran reserve became painfully obvious in the Korean war when many of the men who were being called to serve were World War II veterans participating in Ready Reserve units.
On stage I have to amplify some of my emotions with my back or make something a little bit more obvious because my audience might be very far away from me, or very high up and find it harder to read what I’m trying to express.
My other Main Man is Muhamed Ali, for the obvious reasons.
At least in part, people are attracted to subjects where they can identify at a basic level with the people who do it. The extraordinary aesthetic of the natural world is not obvious to someone who never leaves the inner city. Appreciation of the elegance and power of physical law is an acquired taste.
‘Ratboy’ is an offbeat film with a lot of comments to make about human values. But, because it’s offbeat, it doesn’t have an obvious market.
Secured debentures of the non-convertible variety were the rage in the mid-1980s, but their glamour ended on their maturity when it became obvious that there was nothing secured about them.
The Russians have been waging wars with these separatists since the 19th century, but for obvious reasons, Chechen separatist terrorism tends to be carried out by Chechens.
If you are not something, how do you become it? It is not obvious to me that you can be something you are not.
Women have had the vote for over forty years and their organizations lobby in Washington for all sorts of causes; why, why, why don’t they take up their own causes and obvious needs?
Whether one eats a cat or not is a personal choice, and I don’t want to sway anyone one way or another. But if you do, there is one obvious cooking tip: Always remember to remove the bell from the cat’s collar before cooking.
Growing up, John Terry was my obvious idol. I based my whole game on him.
With the huge benefits of investing in renewables, energy efficiency and demand reduction becoming ever more obvious, it’s clear that there needs to be far greater scrutiny of the policy decisions that are propelling Britain towards a nuclear future.
A genius knows how to make himself easily understood without being obvious about it.
I also tried to avoid doing obvious dance records.
The Christian kids’ movies are fun because so many of them are made with low production value, but they’re still trying to appeal to a broad audience like a Sesame Street or something. It’s always fascinating to see how hidden or obvious they want to make their message. Also, the acting in them can be pretty fun.
It’s absolutely clear to me that Obama has enormous intrapersonal intelligence. His book, ‘Dreams from My Father,’ is an amazing book, and it’s obvious to everybody he has lots of intrapersonal intelligence.
The first thing that is not obvious to people is global warming is a less-than-1% effect. It’s like being shortchanged at the bank by a penny every dollar. Over a long period of time with lots of transactions, that piles up.
Buffon is fearless and has no obvious weaknesses. He has been outstanding for Juventus and was one of Italy’s most important players at the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany, where they were victorious, but what is amazing is that he has been playing like that for years. He never seems to make a mistake.
In the Trump era, it’s way more obvious extreme racism exists. But there are still a lot of people who think, ‘We don’t have a racist bone in our bodies.’ We have to face the racism in ourselves.
New Jersey has decided that fewer handguns legally carried in public means less crime. It is obvious that the justifiable need requirement functions as a rationing system designed to limit the number of handguns carried in New Jersey.
Tina Fey’s autobiography is very, very funny and very well written. It’s her life story: it’s about how she grows up in New York. There’s no obvious reason why I should enjoy this – I mean, this is the autobiography of a woman in her early 40s in New York. I’m a guy from a small town in Denmark.
Thankfully, roads have opened that could lead us out of this Brexit crisis. One obvious solution, which is fast gaining support, is to hand the issue back to the country. I would add that we also need formally to take no deal Brexit off the table, because that way lies chaos and disaster.
It is so obvious for the under-privileged to challenge the privileged, saying, ‘How can you have something over me?’ as opposed to the privileged person saying, ‘How can we have something over the rest?’ I find the latter more exciting.
Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefitting you and your family, but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make, the more of a financial impact you can have.
