One of the great things about our democracy is it expresses itself in all sorts of ways. And that includes people protesting.

People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better.

One of the things I think the next president has to do is to stop fanning people's fears.

And if we feed them hope and we feed them reason and tolerance, then they will become tolerant and reasonable and hopeful.
