“Thank you very much. Thank you for the ``Happy Birthday.'' I have had a very happy birthday in west Tennessee, and I thank all of you for that. I thank you for coming out here. This is a vast crowd; we never had any idea there would be this kind of crowd here. They said, ``Well, Mr. President, we've got to go. We need to be at the airport because we're going to have to shake hands with a few people who will be there before we leave''--a few thousand people, or maybe not even a few thousand people, several thousand people. I thank you all for coming, very much. Hillary and Chelsea and I have had a wonderful time with Al and Tipper and Karenna and Sarah and Albert. We did go out and work on the church rebuilding today to give us something to do to remind ourselves that, as the Scripture says, ``To those to whom much is given, much is expected.'' And all of us have a responsibility now as Americans to say we don't want our country to be like other countries where people fight with each other because of their differences over race or religion or ethnic group or tribal groups. There's too much of that in the world. America is going in the other direction. We're going to draw strength from our differences and our shared values, and one of those is the freedom of religion, and we respect that, and we're going to keep fighting for it all the way. Let me also tell you that I am very grateful to the State of Tennessee for being so good to me and to our administration.…”
