At Obama's Presidential Center on the Southside of Chicago. It was a time to be proud, to be happy, to have/give hope.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
