Barack Obama: “Let's put Americans back to work doing the work that needs to be done.”

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.

Listen, hypocrisy is progress.

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.

Your task is not to impose litmus tests.
