It is time to do away with work place policies that belong in a Mad Men episode.

One of the things I think the next president has to do is to stop fanning people's fears. If we spend all our time feeding the American people fear and conflict and division, then they become fearful and conflicted and divided. And if we feed them hope and we feed them reason and tolerance, then they will become tolerant and reasonable and hopeful.

When you see a Donald Trump and a Bernie Sanders, very unconventional candidates, have considerable success, then obviously there's something there that's being tapped into; a suspicion on globalization, a desire to reign in it's excesses, a suspicion of elites and governing institutions that people feel may not be responsive to their immediate needs. And that sometimes gets wrapped up in issues of ethnic identify or religious identity or cultural identity, and that can be a volatile mix.

I don't want to make promises, not knowing what the situation's going to be three or four years out.

No one is exempt from the call to find common ground.

My presidency is not over. I've got another five years coming up.

I'm a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I'd have to think long and hard before I let him play football.
