I'm so tired of the left trying to divide us by race. One of the things I said today in my speech, we're not Indian-Americans, African-Americans, Irish-Americans, rich Americans, poor Americans. We're all Americans.

'Elections have consequences,' President Obama said, setting his new policy agenda just three days after taking office in 2009.
