Barack Obama: “I've come to rely on Janet's judgment and advice, but I've also come to value her friendship.”

The essence of Prop. 50 is to say that if you are going to play that game, then we are going to try to counteract that abuse of the system.

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.

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.
