Barack Obama: “We cannot play politics at a time when the American people are looking for us to solve problems.”

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

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

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

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
