Barack Obama: “Bipartisanship, not for its own sake but to solve problems, that's what our constituents, the American people, need from…”

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

People aren't looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect, that deep in our gut, we want to find a way to turn towards each other again, not further away.

it was nevertheless important that we all play a part in assuring that our elected officials are accountable.

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