Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that all of our Muslim American neighbors in this country are somehow our enemies here. They are our first line of defense.

I can tell you my feelings were hurt.

We need to focus on destroying ISIL, but we shouldn't be the ones declaring that [Bashir] Assad must go.

But we should not lose sight of how far we are coming and what a big hole we were left by George W. Bush.

Facts are facts: No president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the Great Depression inherited a worse economy, bigger job losses or deeper problems from his predecessor. But President Obama is moving America forward, not back.

I think America is moving to a much more connected, inclusive and compassionate place.
