It's good to be home. My fellow Americans, Michelle and I have been so
touched by all the well-wishes we've received over the past few weeks.
But tonight it's my turn to say thanks. Whether we've seen eye-to-eye
or rarely agreed at all, my conversations with you, the American people -- in
living rooms and schools; at farms and on factory floors; at diners and on
distant outposts -- are what have kept me honest, kept me inspired, and kept me
going. Every day, I learned from you. You made me a better President, and you
made me a better man.
