Barack Obama began his speech by talking about how the task of perfecting America’s union

moves forward. He talks about how they are an American family and they stick together as one nation
and as one people. He thanked everyone they voted whether they waited in line for a long time or they
voted for the verry first time. Whether they voted for him or they voted for Romney. The Romney
family had chosen to give back to America through public service.

He thanked the vice president Joe Biden calling him America’s happy warrior. He said he has
never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with Michelle as America’s first lady .He is
proud of his daugthers that are growing up to become strong ,smart beautiful young women like their
mum.

Political campaigns can seem silly sometimes but if you saw folks working late at a campaign
office in some tiny country far away from home, you’ll discover something else . you will hear the
determination of each American citizen . That’s why elections matter, democracy in a nation of 300
million can be disorganized . We have our different views and it stirs up controversy. That won’t change
after tonight because it’s a sign of our liberty. But despite all our differences, most of us share certain
hopes for America’s future. He wants the American kids to live in a country that’s safe and respected
and admired around the world.

He believes in a tolerant America open to dreams of an immigrants child who studies in their
school and pledges to their flag.

There will be some disagreements along the line . The recognition that they have common
goals and dreams will not stop the disagreements but that’s were it all starts , from that common bond,
America has never been about what can be done for us its about what can be done for us its about what
can be done by us.

What makes America great is the belief that their destinies are shared .He has never been,
more hopeful about the future of America and he ask’s the American citizens to sustain that hope. He
believes in the kind of hope that despite the evidence is to the contrary, that something better awaits
as long as they keep working

HE believes that America can build on the progress that they have made and continue to fight
for new job opportunities and new security for the middle class. It dose not matter who you are and
where your from you can make it in America if you are willing to work hard.

Together with the help of the citizens of America and the help of Gods grace we will continue
our journey forward and remind the world that we live in the greatest nation on earth.
