Barack Obama: “Let's make sure it's not on the usual plane of politics and point-scoring and pettiness that drifts away in the next…”

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

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.

I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.

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