Barack Obama: “I see an American century because we have the resilience to make it through these tough economic times.”

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

If I had a blame pie for why politics is so polarised and why we're seeing a rise of populism in many places, it's because of that information that is going into our brains every day.

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.
