Barack Obama: “I think we've built up an excellent relationship over the past 2 years, working on a whole range of issues.”

It fortifies you to say that, yes, this has been part of the journey that we’re on.

Every president here today, as different as we are, has tried our best to uphold the values that John McCain and Mitt Romney believed in no less than I did.

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

And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.
