More from Barack Obama
It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.
It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.
