US Presidency
2015

I want future generations to know that we are a people who see our differences as a great gift, that we're a people who value the dignity and worth of every citizen man and woman, young and old, black and white, Latino, Asian, immigrant, Native American, gay, straight, Americans with mental illness or physical disability. Everybody matters. I want them to grow up in a country that shows the world what we still know to be true: that we are still more than a collection of red states and blue states; that we are the United States of America. I want them to grow up in a country where a young mom can sit down and write a letter to her President with a story that sums up these past six years: It's amazing what you can bounce back from when you have to.. we are a strong, tight-knit family who's made it through some very, very hard times. My fellow Americans, we, too, are a strong, tight-knit family. We, too, have made it through some hard times.
