What the American people hope - what they deserve - is
for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through
our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of
our politics. For while the people who sent us here have
different backgrounds, different stories, different beliefs,
the anxieties they face are the same. The aspirations they hold
are shared: a job that pays the bills; a chance to get ahead;
most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.
Barack Obama, President of USA
