"My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won't stop. In fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my remaining days.

"But for now, whether you are young or whether you're young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President — the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago.

"I'm asking you to believe ... not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours."

"I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding documents;
that idea whispered by slaves and abolitionists;
that spirit sung by immigrants and homesteaders and those who marched for justice;
that creed reaffirmed by those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the moon;
a creed at the core of every American whose story is not yet written:

Yes, we can.

Yes, we did. Yes, we can."

—President Barack Obama
