'You'll tolerate that support'
If you disrespect women before you were president, you will disrespect women when you’re in office. If you accept the support of a Klan sympathizer, the Klan, and hesitate when asked about that support, then you’ll tolerate that support when you’re in office.
– Barack Obama

The president told voters that “there are more one-stop vote sites in North Carolina than ever before,” but noted that Republican-controlled election boards had attempted to restrict voting.
'What's our excuse?'

– Barack Obama
