Barack Obama: “I think that there's a certain decorum with which you treat the dead even if it's somebody who has done terrible things.”

Please join me in supporting Sherrod Brown. He’ll always fight for Ohio.

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.

When we choose, when we make that decision, I do believe – and there is evidence for this – that the world gets incrementally better, and that is a worthy goal and it’s worth fighting for.

If I had a blame pie for why politics is so polarised and why we're seeing a rise of populism in many places, it's because of that information that is going into our brains every day.
