“What the American people hope - what they deserve - is for all of us, Democrats and Republicans, to work through our differences; to overcome the numbing weight of our politics. For while the people who sent us here have different backgrounds, different stories, different beliefs, the anxieties they face are the same. The aspirations they hold are shared: a job that pays the bills; a chance to get ahead; most of all, the ability to give their children a better life.” PeopleGivingChildrenDifferentStoriesJobsFacesBeliefDifferencesChanceAbilityPayRepublicanAnxietyDeserveOvercomingWeightBillsDemocratBackgroundsAspirationBetter LifeGet AheadNumbingDifferent BackgroundsDifferent Beliefs Author:Barack Obama

“It is possible for two people who have wide differences of preference and opinion, of habits, of teaching, of training, of background and belief to enjoy the company of each other in many ways. Indeed, a diversity of friendships is one of life's real enrichments. To learn of the goodness of those who are unlike-their worth, their sincerity, their good hearts, their good minds, their good company-is rich and rewarding. It is wonderful to have a wide range of choice friends who can be counted on, friends who can be enjoyed and loved and trusted. Such is the meaning of friendship.” PeopleWayMindHeartTwoRealChoicesBeliefEnjoyDifferencesCompanyOpinionRichWonderfulTeachingHabitGoodnessDiversityTrainingWideBackgroundsEnjoyedRangeSincerityTrustedPreferenceGood HeartGood CompanyEnrichmentGood MindMeaning Of Friendship Author:Richard L.
