Barack Obama: “The pace of actions taken by this administration is double that of the previous administration.”

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

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.

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 hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.
