Barack Obama: “What we're talking about is a vision for high speed rail in America.”

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

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 hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.

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