2. SOUNDBITE (English) President Barack Obama:
"Now, everybody is sad when their side loses an election, but the day after we have to remember we're actually all on one team, this is an intramural scrimmage. We're not Democrats first we're not Republicans first, we are Americans first, we're patriots first, we all want what's best for this country. That's what I heard in Mr. Trump's remarks last night, that's what I heard when I spoke to him directly and I was heartened by that. That's what the country needs, a sense of unity, a sense of inclusion, a respect for our institutions, our way of life, rule of law and a respect for each other."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) President Barack Obama:
"A lot of our fellow Americans are exalted today, a lot of Americans are less so, but that's the nature of campaigns, that's the nature of democracy, it is hard and sometimes contentious and noisy, it's not always inspiring but to the young people who got into politics for the first time and may be disappointed by the results, I just want you to know you have to stay encouraged. Don't get cynical, don't ever think you can't make a difference. As Secretary Clinton said this morning, fighting for what is right is worth it. Sometimes you lose an argument, sometimes you lose an election, you know the path this country's taken has never been a straight line, we zig and zag and sometimes we move in ways that some people think is forward and others think is moving back, and that's ok. I've lost elections before, Joe hasn't but... you know, so I've been sort of sharing. (Vice President Joe Biden: Remember you beat me badly.)"
