President Obama's Farewell Speech

President Obama’s farewell speech is one of a kind. With his famous slogan YES WE CAN, Obama will remain to be the role model to many people. He is an example to be emulated by both the young and the elderly. In his emotional speech, he advised that "laws alone won't be enough" in resolving persistent differences between Americans, rather hearts must change.
It will be remembered that President Obama build America and made it not only strong but also a county to be admired.

“America is exceptional, not that it has been impeccable from the start, but that it has shown the capacity to change, and make life better for those who follow”.
Democracy
One of the things that he pointed out was democracy. And that is what most countries are       out-crying for. Democracy determines the future. Most countries have failed because they lack fairness.
‘Our founders argued, they quarreled, and eventually they compromised. They expected us to do the same. But they knew that democracy does require a basic sense of solidarity. The idea that, for all our outward differences, we’re all in this together, that we rise or fall as one.”
Obama stressed that the only way of dealing with challenges of our democracy will be determined on the ability to educate our kids and create good jobs and protect our homeland.
Our youth, our drive, our diversity and openness, our boundless capacity for risk and reinvention means that the future should be ours. But that potential will only be realized if our democracy works.
Yes we can-Yes we did
Since he entered to power in 2008, president Obama has done a number of things that will forever remain in history.  Obama strictly wedged into his manifesto. In spite of terror attacks, domestic violence, Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and other health issues, America’s economy has grown and the rate of unemployment reduced.
“Wages, incomes, home values and retirement accounts are all rising again. Poverty is falling again. The wealthy are paying a fair share of taxes. Even as the stock market shatters records, the unemployment rate is near a 10-year low. The uninsured rate has never, ever been lower”.
Unanimity
Even though he held the highest rank, President Obama fully associated with everybody. It is through his involvement that he was able to learn and address the problems affecting the ordinary citizen.
“Now this is where I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, and they get engaged, and they come together to demand it”.
He strongly embraced criticism and correction.
“Whether we have seen eye-to-eye or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, those conversations are what have kept me honest, and kept me inspired, and kept me going”.
