Barack Obama: “I want to give a break to 95 percent of middle class Americans – folks who need it and deserve it.”

It fortifies you to say that, yes, this has been part of the journey that we’re on.

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.

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.

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.
