Let us build bridges, my friends, build bridges to human dignity across that gulf that separates black America from white America.

Liberals want to live downtown. All over America - in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Georgetown - there are crowds of liberals living in the gritty, ugly, dirty neighborhoods sensible people are trying to flee.

People have said, 'Let's build bridges,' and frankly, I want to do more than that. I would like break to the walls of ignorance between East and West.

We build too many walls and not enough bridges.

Hopefully, we can build bridges, but we also have to draw lines.

Congress passes bills that appropriate money. Congress says, 'We're building this bridge or funding that defense project, and they cost this much.'

We will burn that bridge when we come to it.

With Washington already broken, the last thing we need is a left-wing version of the Tea Party.

Instead of building walls, we should be building bridges.
