Barack Obama: “We are committed to expand cooperation to end poverty and hunger.”

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

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect."

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.

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