Barack Obama: “I want and hope for the people of Iran that the Government of Iran will make a different choice.”

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…

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.

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

That's what I hope every visitor to this center takes away from their experience.
