"The one thing I always remind people -- because they get discouraged, they say, 'you know, people around the world, they're expressing hatred toward America' -- you know, people outside of this country are expressing disappointment because they've got high expectations for America, and they want America to lead. They want America to lead through our values, and through our ideals, and through our example. But they have high expectations of us because, I think, that this country is still the last, best hope on Earth." -- US Senator (and Presidential candidate) Barack Obama (D-Illinois), on the CBS television show the Late Show with David Letterman [I'm not sure what date; I think it was 2007-04-09.
