Barack Obama: “We will use force abroad to protect the American people consistent with our values and all applicable law.”

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.

Never talks that way when they are in the same room.

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.
