Barack Obama: “This type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries.”

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.

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.

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.
