What Obama Said

Here's what I heard President Obama say in his first speech as president:

Many people made huge sacrifices to come to this country.
Many people took huge leaps of faith to settle this nation.
Many people worked long and hard and fought with their lives to make this nation better.

And all these people said they did it so their family, their children, could have a better life.

And WE are those children for whom the sacrifices were made. We are the children and descendants for whom the better life was sought.

So we should stop whining, we should stop waiting, we should get up off our butts and enjoy what we have and work to keep it good for all.
