Barack Obama: “The majority of Iraqis have embraced the electoral process as the best means for peaceful political change.”

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

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.
