Barack Obama: “Every American should be able to enjoy their golden years with dignity and security.”

That's what I hope every visitor to this center takes away from their experience.

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.

I think when you understand the complexities of America and the contradictions of America, I don’t think it makes you love it less. I think it makes you love it more.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
