Barack.

I've been rooting for this, this is the match-up I've been wanting to see. And now I'm excited to see him gain the opportunity to enter into an exchange of ideas with the toughness his opposition brings. I'm excited to hear the conversation that is going to be had that will make people think about the direction our country is headed and our part in making it better.


"The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals."
