Barack Obama: “The road ahead will not be easy.”

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.

People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.

Never talks that way when they are in the same room.

I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.
