"Extended benefits and health care to those who are serving this country…"

"American cannot meet the threats of this century alone…We must move forward with the confidence and candor that these times demand."

"The eyes of all people in all nations are upon us." Cut to shot of Pilot Scully. "This is a tremendous burden but also a great privilege. In our hands lies the ability to shape our world for good or for ill. It's easy to doubt…In my life I have learned that hope is found in unlikely places…from the dreams and aspirations of ordinary Americans who are anything but ordinary…"

Heck, I'm crying. Obama stares up at them beautifully.
