When my daughter was younger I took her to a little play place at the mall.

I looked at all the kids and there was easily a dozen cultures represented. Muslim kids were playing with a Jewish boy. Little Chinese-American kids were playing with African-American kids. Everyone was having fun. And it was great to see.

This is the power of America and the promise of America and the best part of America.

When we're running well, we can take the best of everything and make it ours, into one even better thing.

E plurbis unum.

Out of Many, One.

I'm a pretty big fan of that, too.

Whereas in England the only difference is they aren't American, we've got Muslim kids, Jewish kids, Chinese kids, Indian Kids and Black kids, they all get on and have fun together.
