Barack Obama: “We cannot give up on the search for peace, no matter how hard it is.”

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

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

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.

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