Barack Obama: “It is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan.”

I thought this was the South Side of Chicago.

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.

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.

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