When Obama says things like this...

...he hits me straight in my core, finds my resonant frequency and rings me like a tuning fork.

And so the point is, whether it's cultural wars or how we think about our foreign policy or how we think about our economics, the baby boom generation resolved a lot of these conflicts in their own lives, but our politics remained stuck in this deeply polarized pattern. And that's the reason people are so frustrated. That's why people don't ever see themselves reflected in the debates. And part of the reason why I think we've done well historically is that I'm using a language that I think is more in tune with the American people, which says, I'm not going to demonize you because you disagree with me, that I don't think the Democrats have a monopoly on wisdom. But we have a strong set of principles and values that we care about. I'm unwavering in my commitment to a set of goals like making sure that every child has equal opportunity, making sure that upward mobility continues in our society, but I'm more agnostic in terms of how we achieve it.
