                      economy from the worst crisis of our lifetimes. I''ve hugged cancer survivors who finally know the security of affordable health care. I''ve seen communities like Joplin rebuild from
                      disaster, and cities like Boston show the world that no terrorist will ever break the American spirit. I''ve seen the hopeful faces of young graduates and our newest military officers.
                      I''ve mourned with grieving families searching for answers. And I found grace in a Charleston church. I''ve seen our scientists help a paralyzed man regain his sense of touch, and
                      our wounded warriors walk again. I''ve seen our doctors and volunteers rebuild after earthquakes and stop pandemics in their tracks. I''ve learned from students who are building robots
                      and curing diseases, and who will change the world in ways we can''t even imagine. I''ve seen the youngest of children remind us of our obligations to care for our refugees, to work
                      in peace, and above all, to look out for each other.

                      That''s what''s possible when we come together in the slow, hard, sometimes frustrating, but always vital work of self-government. But we can''t take our democracy for granted. All
                      of us, regardless of party, should throw ourselves into the work of citizenship. Not just when there is an election. Not just when our own narrow interest is at stake. But over the
                      full span of a lifetime. If you''re tired of arguing with strangers on the Internet, try to talk with one in real life. If something needs fixing, lace up your shoes and do some organizing.
                      If you''re disappointed by your elected officials, then grab a clipboard, get some signatures, and run for office yourself.

                      Our success depends on our participation, regardless of which way the pendulum of power swings. It falls on each of us to be guardians of our democracy, to embrace the joyous task
                      we''ve been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours. Because for all our outward differences, we all share the same proud title – citizen.

                      It has been the honor of my life to serve you as President. Eight years later, I am even more optimistic about our country''s promise. And I look forward to working along your side
                      as a citizen for all my days that remain.

                      Thanks, everybody. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.
