- Former President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he tried to build a culture centered around problem-solving and not personal gain while in the White House — an effective strategy for any organization that also prevents "big scandals and indictments."

Obama's comments drew applause from a crowd of about 9,000 people at a business conference in Salt Lake City.

Obama didn't mention President Donald Trump and wasn't asked about him during a question-and-answer session, but he made several comments that seemed to allude to the state of the country and the Trump administration.

"Things like rule of law, democracy and you know, competence and facts; those things are not partisan, but they also don't happen automatically," Obama said. "There has to be citizens who insist on it and participate to make sure it happens. Democracy is a garden that has to be tended."

2. Love this part

Calling himself "old-fashioned," he said he believed in "things like facts and reason and logic," Obama said.

The remark triggered loud applause and laughter before Obama responded: "Thank you. We have a fact-based crowd here. That's good."
