Barack Obama: “This is not a war of choice, this is a war of necessity.”

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

America is currently experiencing anger and vision but we are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.

That's what I hope every visitor to this center takes away from their experience.
