Barack Obama: “America is the country we are today because of people like Henry and William.”

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

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.

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