Barack Obama: “The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack on the army recruitment center in Aden today.”

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

Never talks that way when they are in the same room.

I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.
