Barack Obama
Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
I have complete confidence in the American people and our legal traditions and the prosecutors, the tough prosecutors from New York who specialize in terrorism.
Barack Obama
No one built this country on their own. This nation is great because we built it together.
Barack Obama
