Barack Obama: “We all owe it to the American people to get the best possible result over the finish line.”

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.

Your task is not to impose litmus tests.

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.

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
