"We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those boys ... We are the hope of the father ... We are the hope of the woman ... We are the hope of the future; the answer to the cynics who tell us ... we cannot remake this world as it should be.
[W]hat began as a whisper has now swelled to a chorus ... that will heal this nation, repair this world, and make this time different than all the rest."
-- BHO, speech in Chicago, February 5, 2008
