For my daughter, it's going to mean something special that Hillary Clinton accepts the nomination, and I wanted to make sure that she sees that.

A couple of years ago, my wife, Erica, and I were getting our daughter ready for school and an image of President [Barack] Obama was on one of the morning shows. And I said, oh, look, Carina, there's the president. You can be president one day. And she said, right away, that's for boys. And so right away I said, oh, no, you can be a doctor. You can be a lawyer. You can be anything you want. You can be president.

Donald Trump ought to realise that being a president is different to being a candidate and that there is a responsibility that comes with the office.

My hope is Donald Trump will focus on building bridges instead of walls.

When it comes to letting people marry whomever they love, Mitt Romney says, "No."

My family's story isn't special. What's special is the America that makes our story possible. Ours is a nation like no other, a place where great journeys can be made in a single generation. No matter who you are or where you come from, the path is always forward.

With the opportunity we build today for a shared prosperity tomorrow, America will prevail. It begins with re-electing Barack Obama.
