Barack Obama: “Yes, the American people are better off than they were in September of 2008.”

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

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

The essence of Prop. 50 is to say that if you are going to play that game, then we are going to try to counteract that abuse of the system.

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.
