“Yes, our greatness as a nation has depended on individual initiative, on a belief in the free market.  But it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, of mutual responsibility.  The idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we're all in it together and everybody's got a shot at opportunity.  Americans know this.  We know that government can't solve all our problems - and we don't want it to.  But we also know that there are some things we can't do on our own.  We know that there are some things we do better together.”

- Barack Obama
