I think every case is different. Every situation is different. People come on the F.B.I.'s radar screen for a variety of reasons at a variety of times.

it’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. - Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President

I don't want my generals or my defense secretary or my national-security team to ever feel deploying weapons to kill people as routine or abstract, even if the targets are bad people.
Barack Obama

We are reminded that, in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but rather how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.

I get letters from [people getting insurance] right now. You saved my child's life. I did not have to sell my home when my wife got sick. And that is what, as a policy maker, I'm trying to achieve during the short period of time that I'm here.

At some fundamental level, religion does not allow for compromise. It insists on the impossible. If God has spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God's edicts, regardless of the consequences. To base one's life on such uncompromising commitment may be sublime to base our policy making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.

It's important to recognize that you can't have 100 percent security and also then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience.
Barack Obama
Image

I will call not just on Israel, but on the Palestinians, on the Arab States, and the international community to join us in this effort, because the burden of making hard choices must not be Israel’s alone.

I think that Mr. Snowden raised some legitimate concerns. How he did it was something that did not follow the procedures and practices of our intelligence community. If everybody took the approach that I make my own decisions about these issues, then it would be very hard to have an organized government or any kind of national security system.
Barack Obama

We can't expect to solve problems if all we do is tear each other down. You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it.
Barack Obama
Image
Congress has become so dysfunctional that more and more of a burden is placed on the agencies to fill in the gaps. And the gaps get bigger and bigger because they're not constantly refreshed and tweaked.

Michelle [Obama] never fully took to the scrutiny. I mean, she's thrived as a first lady, but it's not her preference.
Barack Obama
Image
If you want to know who we are, who America is, how we respond to evil-that's it: selflessly, compassionately, unafraid.
Barack Obama
Image
Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination.
Barack Obama

It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment, as a way to explain their frustrations.
