Barack Obama: “you cannot lobby back to the White House as long as I am president”

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

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

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.

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