"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."

*hugs you tight* It's amazing what your country has done! And I have every faith that you'll keep doing amazing things in the months to come.

It's not going to be easy but it can be done!

His speech was so amazing. I was watching with my friends, and all of us who had been so chatty all night just got silent and listened. My best friend and I teared up.

I am so excited at the prospect of being able to be proud of my country again.

I think it's about time for one of the 'elite' to represent the US to the rest of the world, if that means an intelligent, educated person who is not afraid to think before speaking, to listen to what others are thinking and to show that intelligence in the reasoned response.
