It's important to make sure that governments have some checks on what they do, that people can oversee what's being done so the government doesn't abuse it.

What I've seen in my own life is that when I get something important done it's because of a lot of other people - some who get credit, some who don't.

I would not advise people who feel strongly or are concerned about some of the issues that have been raised during the course of the [president electing] campaign.

Of course I have got concerns. Donald Trump and I differ on a whole bunch of issues.

The spirit's there and that's not just my imagination. I think if you look at surveys and attitudes among young people, you see it.

I decided to become a community organizer ... Change won't come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots.

I believe in term limits for presidents because I think that there is no doubt I'm a better president now than I was when I start.
