"I know I may not look like it, but I’ve been around a while. And when you get to my age certain things become clearer than ever before.
"I know the American story. Again and again I’ve seen the contest between competing forces in the battle for the soul of our nation. Between those who want to pull America back to the past and those who want to move America into the future.
"My lifetime has taught me to embrace freedom and democracy.
"....I believe in you the American people. You’re the reason I’ve never been more optimistic about our future! So let’s build that future together! Let’s remember who we are!
"We are the United States of America. There is nothing beyond our capacity when we act together!" -- President Joe Biden, State of the Union speech, March 7, 2024
