Barack Obama actually said...

There's cause for optimism because America is resilient and it's tough and it's full of good people.

These are priorities that both candidates have dedicated their career to fighting for.

I have seen the American people respond and seen the resilience and the basic decency and goodness of this country in all kinds of ways.

I want to express my admiration for His Majesty's leadership and his many contributions to deepening the enduring bonds between our peoples.
