Barack Obama: “I can promise that I will try to do it in the first year of my second term. I want to try this year.”

That was fantastic. I was a little tall for it.

The success of this experiment was never a given.

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 hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.
