Barack Obama: “I commend the inclusive and representative nature of Yemen's ongoing National Dialogue.”

Your task is not to impose litmus tests.

People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.

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.

The success of this experiment was never a given.
