I know that so many of us hoped that, by electing our first black president, we had turned the page on this chapter in our history. But, despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, America's long struggle with race is far from finished.
I do support the effort to investigate for crimes, war crimes committed by the Syrians and the Russians and try to hold them accountable.
Donald Trump first gained political prominence leading the charge for the so-called birthers. He promoted the racist lie that President Obama is not really an American citizen, part of a sustained effort to delegitimize America's first black president.
Barack Obama went high, despite Donald Trump's best efforts to bring him down.
You just have to sort of figure out how to - getting back to that word, "balance" - how to balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically, and that's not just a comment about today. That, I think, has probably been true for all of our history.
I like to remember what Michelle Obama said in her amazing speech at our Democratic National Convention: When they go low, we go high. And Barack Obama went high, despite Donald Trump's best efforts to bring him down.

I was involved in a number of efforts to take out Al Qaida leadership when I was secretary of state, including, of course, taking out [Usama] bin Laden.
You can bloom wherever you're planted, if you put enough effort into it.
Despite our best efforts and our highest hopes, America's long struggle with race is far from finished.
The United States strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information. It puts people's lives in danger, threatens our national security, and undermines our efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems.
I've spent so many years commuting, I kind of prefer a home office.
I've often thought that the gauntlet of American politics is more individualistic, more expensive, more unpredictable than in many other democracies.
I've been in the hospital once when I had my daughter, and, oh, when I broke my elbow, but other than that, I've been very fortunate.
