Barack Obama Quotes, Beautiful Quotes, Character Quotes

And I think that's a fine description of the friendship that exists between the Greek people and the American people.

And that's powerful. It's hard for me to describe to you what that means. It's-let me just say this: It's a leap of faith to understand.
