I'm sold.

For all the anger, exhaustion and fury that's been America for the past six years, for all the people in all the places and all the colors and all the dreams and all the nationalities, religions and beliefs,
this man is our chance.

To wake up after six years of pessimism and fear and indifference, to see that there is someone who still believes that this country is great, not only in military dominance but in content; to feel again that it's worth fighting for, not to be saved but to be enabled to succeed, to better ourselves and those around us.

I questioned him more than anyone, and he will have to learn and learn quick, and it won't be easy. But to have someone who gets it - that's what I'm now willing to try.
