"Acknowledging the reality of the persistent racial disparities in our criminal justice system is not at all inconsistent with voicing emphatic, unwavering support for police officers."

"No country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere."

"I know that because I know America. I know how far we've come against impossible odds."

"We cannot take the blessings of this Nation for granted."
