Kaban ni D_BystandeR: PAKIGPULONG PASALAMAT NI BARAK

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Tonight more than 200 years after a colony won the right to determine its own destiny to perfect our union moves forward. (Applause) It moves forward because  of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that triumphs over war and depression. The spirit that has lifted the spirit from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope. The belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams we are an American family and we will rise and fall as  one nation, and as one people. (Applause)  Tonight in this election you the American reminded us that  while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have  fought our way back and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America the best is yet to come. (Applause) I want to thank every American who participated in this election. Whether you voted for the first time or waited in line for a very long time; by the way we have to fix that. (Applause) Whether  you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone. Whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign your voice was heard and you make a difference.  And I wouldn't be the man without the woman who  agreed to marry me 20 years ago, let me say this publicly Michelle I have never loved you more. I have  never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation's first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up to become too smart, beautiful young women just like  your mom. (Applause) And I am proud of you guy; but I will say for now one dog is probably enough.

What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on earth. the belief that our destiny is shared, that this country only works when we expect certain obligations to one another and the future generations so that the freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for comes with responsibilities as well as rights and among those are love, and charity, and duty, andpatriotism. That's what makes America great. 

*Cheers* 

 I am hopeful tonight because I have seen the spirit at work in America. I have seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. I've seen it in the soldiers who reenlist after losing a limb and in those SEALS that charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back.

 *Cheers* 

 I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, seem silly, and that provides plenty of fodder of the cynics who tell us that politics are nothing more than a contest of egos, or the domain of special interests. But if you ever got the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along the rope line a high school gym, or saw folks working late at a campaign office at some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.  That's why we do this, that's what politics can be,that' why elections matter. It's not small, it's big, it's important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy, and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions, each of us has deeply held beliefs and  when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions,  it stirs up controversy. That won't change after tonight and it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark 

of our liberty and we can never forget that as we speak people in distant nations are risking their lives right

now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter, the chance to cast  their ballots like we did today.

*Cheers* 

But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America's future, we want our kids to grow up in a country where they access to the best schools and the best teachers.

(Applause)

 A country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation.
