Dear DU,
I have been reading this site for many years now. I must say it has been enlightening to say the least.
I must admit that sometimes I just lol.
I thank my supporters here. We are all working against the odds to make this world a better place. No, it has not been easy. We have a Congress that wishes America to fail. I sit alone in my office trying to make headway with executive orders, it is not enough. It never will be. We need to vote in 2014 if we want some of the change we seek. I can not do this alone. I need a functioning Congress.
I never promised unicorns and rainbows, though some believe I did. I also never said it would be easy, now did I.
Remember my words in 2008:
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
