I still believe that we are one people. I still believe that together, we can do great things, even when the odds are long. I believe this because over and over in my six years in office, I have seen America at its best. I’ve seen the hopeful faces of young graduates from New York to California; and our newest officers at West Point, Annapolis, Colorado Springs, and New London. I’ve mourned with grieving families in Tucson and Newtown; in Boston, West, Texas, and West Virginia. I’ve watched Americans beat back adversity from the Gulf Coast to the Great Plains; from Midwest assembly lines to the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. I’ve seen something like gay marriage go from a wedge issue used to drive us apart to a story of freedom across our country, a civil right now legal in states that seven in ten Americans call home.
Harakati zote, kampeni zote na madai yote ambayo wapinzani wamekuwa wakitoa miaka yote hii inahusiana na utawala bora; kwamba chini ya utawala wa CCM Tanzania imepata ‘bora utawala’ na wakati umefika kwa Taifa letu kupatiwa “utawala bora”. Tunapozungumzia utawala bora tunazungumzia siyo tu kubadilisha watu bali sera, sheria, mwelekeo na maono ya taifa ili yaendane na changamoto za wakati huu na kuwa hazina kwa changamoto za vizazi vijavyo.
