US Presidency
2012

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior the best Vice President anybody could ever hope for Joe Biden. And I wouldn't be the man I am today 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 two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I am so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now, one dog is probably enough. To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics the best. The best ever. Some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning. But all of you are family.
