Barack Obama: “I'm a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I'd have to think long and hard before I let him play…”

Never talks that way when they are in the same room.

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.

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