Barack Obama: “When I said I'd end the war in Iraq, I ended the war in Iraq.”

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.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.

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.

There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.
