## Transcript

I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard fought campaign. And George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service, and that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight. [ NOISE ] In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward. I know that political campaigns can sometimes seems small, even silly. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy, and messy, and complicated. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty.

We can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue, about the issues that matter. The chance to cast their ballots like we did today [ NOISE ]. We believe in a generous America. In a compassionate America. In a tolerant America [ NOISE ] open to the dreams of an immigrant's daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag. Our economy is recovering, a decade of war is ending, a long campaign is now over. And whether I earned your vote or not, I've listened to you, I've learned from you, and you've made me a better President.

And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the white house more determined and more inspired than ever, about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We're greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. [ NOISE ]. We are, and forever will be, the United States of America [ NOISE ]. [ NOISE ] And together, with your help, and God's grace we will continue our journey forward, and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth.

Thank you America. [ NOISE ].
