Bill Clinton: “We will work with you to help you reclaim your lives, as the earthquake victims have been reclaiming theirs.”

That ain't America. We've never done that.

Damn it, what we have in common matters more. We cannot throw the legacy of this country away.

I hope that people will still believe in our democratic system enough to stick with it and keep pushing to make it work.

And I think we are facing challenges today without precedent in our history.
