Barack Obama: “Democracy is never a one-and-done proposition.”

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

In forming our union, the founders fell terribly short of the Declaration's promise, leaving slavery intact, allowing states to restrict the franchise to white men who owned property.

the American people 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.
