Barack Obama: “The threats that we do face are far more distant.”

No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed.

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.

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

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.
