Political Quotes

“our democracy has flourished throughout history because imperfect human beings have come together here to resolve differences about how our nation should proceed, recognizing that no individual, no political party has a monopoly on truth. How tragic it is that we gather this week with so much talent and so much creative energy and so many problems that the American people face and are diverted to such unworthy purpose. The real division that troubles me today is not the division that will go along strictly party lines about how we will vote, but the division that strikes through the heart and the spirit of America. What we need to be doing is coming together, recognizing that today we have a clear choice to punish individual wrongdoing--that we could come together and censure and disapprove that wrongdoing--but we do not have to censure and punish America. In this new year, we will have a great choice--of coming together to resolve the real problems of our country or continuing to destroy individual lives. I hope we will make the right choice.”
