Barack Obama: “I reaffirmed the close alliance and friendship between the United States and Canada.”

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

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.

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.
