Yes, we can!

My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won’t stop. In fact,
I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my remaining days. But for now, whether you
are young or whether young heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President, the same
thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago. I am asking you to believe. Not
in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. I am asking you to hold fast to that faith
written into our founding documents, that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists tat sprit
sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice, that creed
reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon, a
creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written. Yes, we can. Yes we did,
we did. Yes we can. Thank you. God bless you. May continue to bless the unites States of
America. Thank you.
