Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden sit down with TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager to reflect on the United States’ 250th anniversary. “Remember what’s best in us,” Obama said. “The basic principle upon which this country was founded, which is we don’t have rulers, we don’t have kings, or monarchs, or aristocracies. We have citizens.” “And if we hold true to that idea that we, the people, had been gifted this chance of self-government, if we pay attention to our responsibilities and our duties, and if we extend respect and thoughtfulness to our fellow citizens – even if we disagree with them – if we understand that part of this democratic project is to sort through our differences in peaceful, legal ways, then I’m confident that we’re going to have another 250-year run that’s going be just as good,” Obama said.
