Barack Obama: “On Workers Memorial Day, we celebrate the improvements in American workplaces and remember those who have been injured…”

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

It fortifies you to say that, yes, this has been part of the journey that we’re on.

Listen, hypocrisy is progress.

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