Barack Obama: “From this tragedy, we see the cost of allowing hatred go unanswered in the world.”

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.

Now the ball’s in your court, Iowa.

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