Barack Obama: “We can't simply put more people into a broken system that doesn't work.”

The American people want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.

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.

I think when you understand the complexities of America and the contradictions of America, I don’t think it makes you love it less. I think it makes you love it more.
