I think that shows a level of maturity and understanding that I think bodes well for getting to the bottom of this. But it is really up to you and your staff, on behalf of the American people, to take on that challenge.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
America itself has been through so many challenges since that fateful day back in 1776. Our culture has been a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-go-to-work culture.
Challenging leaders is as American as it gets.
You destroy the initiative of the working people if they don't feel they have a fighting chance to be a part of the American Dream.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.
You begin to realize that the genius of our country is the constant push to be more inclusive and find new ways of engaging everyone.
I say to my colleagues never confine your best work, your hopes, your dreams, the aspiration of the American people to what will be signed by George W. Bush because that is too limiting a factor.
We are telling the American people to have patience, courage, resolve and determination.
Our aim, during our Presidency in the next six months will be to lead this challenge, to show that Europe can function in a mature and responsible way, to start delivering tangible results that show we are taking people's concerns seriously.
We're in this together. We are Americans. We all have to do the best we can. And we will because that's who we are.
Get off your bottom and be the stand, and do the work you can to pursue the American Dream for yourself, and help others to do the same.
