Barack Obama: “We're also hopeful that we'll have a government there that will do more to respect basic human rights.”

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.

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

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

I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.
