Barack Obama: “Higher education cannot be a luxury. It's an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.”

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

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.

No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed.
