Barack Obama: “If you see a way that Government can do its job better, or do the same job for less money, I want to know about it.”

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

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.

They're meant to remind us of who we can be, to remind us of what's possible, so we can forge ahead.

There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.
