Barack Obama: “We can't have politicians spending all their time trying to scare people.”

We don’t have any folks who grill here?

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

Your task is not to impose litmus tests.

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.
