Barack Obama: “Science, not politics, would guide his Administration's approach to difficult public policy issues we face today.”

I obviously have a room in his head.

I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.

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.

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