Barack Obama: “This year's theme is 'Let's Celebrate.'”

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.

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.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.
