Barack Obama: “For the sake of our economy and our people, this is the moment to act, and to act without delay.”

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.

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.

There’s no doubt that we are going through a period right now of disruption, polarization.
