En liten klump i halsen

Här finns texten till Barack Obamas installationstal. Just nu lider jag av svår sömnbrist och är kanske lite extra känslosam, men idag är jag för första gången på länge faktiskt lite stolt över att vara amerikansk medborgare.

Favoritbit:

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and nonbelievers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
