Barack Obama: “We are going to bring a long-overdue sense of responsibility and accountability to Washington.”

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.

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

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

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.
