Source: Political Wire
Its good to be home. My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so touched by all the well-wishes weve received over the past few weeks. But tonight its my turn to say thanks. Whether weve seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people in living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on distant outposts are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me going. Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better President, and you made me a better man.
(snip)
My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I wont stop; in fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my days that remain. For now, whether youre young or young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago.
I am asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change but in yours.
I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents; that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists; that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice; that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon; a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written:
Yes We Can.
Yes We Did.
Yes We Can.
