Barack Obama: “The country is better off today than it was 8 years ago.”

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

I’m going to insist that we can do better than we’re doing right now.

If I had a blame pie for why politics is so polarised and why we're seeing a rise of populism in many places, it's because of that information that is going into our brains every day.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
