Words from the 44th President of the United States of America,
Barack Obama


 

Our nation is at war…our economy weakened…[there is a ] zapping of confidence…fear that demise of America is inevitable…

 

Greatness is never a given, it must be earned…

 

Some say we can not have too many big plans. They have forgotten what can be done when imagination is joined to common purpose…

 

America is a friend of each nation…and we are ready to lead once more…

 

We cannot help but believe the old hatreds will pass…

 

To the Muslim world, we seek a new world forward…

 

Your people will judge you on what you can build, not destroy…

 

To people of poor nations…we can no longer ignore those suffering outside our borders…

 

The world has changed and we must change with it…

 

Service is the willingness to find greatness in something other than [one’s self]…

 

Tolerance and Curiosity, Loyalty…this is the quiet force of Patriotism throughout our history…

 

Less than 60 years ago, a man whose father might not have been served in a restaurant can stand before you as President…

 

Hope and Virtue…

 

[We will] endure what storms may come…
