Barack Obama: “The incident is particularly tragic because it took place in a house of worship.”

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

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

Never talks that way when they are in the same room.
