Barack Obama: “I think it's fair to say that the American people are frustrated with the lack of progress on some key issues.”

a belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution … a belief in the peaceful transfer of power

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.

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

And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.
