"FacebookPinterest\n\n  BARACK MALIK   ON THEIR FATHER  \"I realized, perhaps for the first time, how even in his absence his strong image had given me some bulwark on which to grow up, an image to live up to, or disappoint.\"1\n\n \"My father was a very strong personality that had a big impact on me in my thinking even now. He demanded excellence. He was extremely gifted. He expected us to inherit his qualities.\"2\n\n   ON THEIR KENYAN HERITAGE  \"No one here in Kenya would ask how to spell my name, or mangle it with an unfamiliar tongue. My name belonged and so I belonged.\u2026\"1\n\n \"I am African and even those of us born in Africa cannot claim an outright affinity with the continent unless the innate cultural heritage is awakened.\u2026\"3\n\n   ON CHANGE  I campaigned on the promise of change\u2014change we can believe in\u2026But remember this\u2014I never suggested that change would be easy, or that I could do it alone.\"4\n\n \"We have come a long way by any measure, and therefore, it is reasonable to rest on our laurels in the midst of surveying our progress.\"3\n\n   ON DRINKING  \"Some folks still don't think I spend enough time with Congress. 'Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?' they ask. Really? Why don't you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?\" 5\n\n \"My father would tell me, &amp;amp;#x2018;There is a drop of greatness in every man.' I liked that sentence; it opened dark corners of my understanding. It is now used by various drinking brand advertisers around the world.\"3\n\n   ON EACH OTHER  \"[Malik] threw back his head to laugh, a magical, inward sound\u2026as if he couldn't get over the wonders this newlife had to offer.\"1\n\n \"I'm very proud of [Barack], but I would like for him to do a little bit more for the family on this side. I would like to say he could send some money. I give money when asked. That's what family is for.\"6\n\n   1) In Barack's book Dreams from My Father. 2) To GQ. 3) In Malik's book, Barack Obama Sr.: The Rise and Life of a True African Scholar. 4) 2010 State of the Union Address 5) The 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner 6) To the British Daily Mail."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
