Obama: ‘If We Extend Respect and Thoughtfulness to Our Fellow Citizens ... I’m Confident that We’re Going to Have Another 250-Year Run that’s Going To Be Just as Good’

TRANSCRIPT:

OBAMA: “If we hold true to that idea that we, the people, have been gifted this chance of self-government, if we pay attention to our responsibilities and our duties, and if we extend respect and thoughtfulness to our fellow citizens, even if we disagree with them, if we understand that part of this democratic project is to sort through our differences in peaceful, legal ways, then I’m confident that we’re going to have another 250-year run that’s going to be just as good.”
