Obama:
"I believe in hope, and thus I hope for a future filled with hope. I believe in the future because the future is ahead of us, and the past has come before us....and the future is yet to come. I believe that we U.S. Americans want change and I will change things and not leave us unchanged. I believe the future is not now and not in the past, because the past is history. I want you to believe me when I say that I believe in everything you believe in.... regardless of whether you are Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or atheist. In closing I would like to leave you with a quote from George Washington after he won the battle of Gettysburg ...... "We all sing with the same voice, the same song, the same voice, we all sing with the same voice and we sing (long pause) in harmony. Thank you and God bless America"
