Barack Obama: “I promise you, I did not run for President to bail out banks or intervene in capital markets.”

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

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

I think when you understand the complexities of America and the contradictions of America, I don’t think it makes you love it less. I think it makes you love it more.

Listen, hypocrisy is progress.
