2015 president new years speech

You're referring to the New Year's speech delivered by President Barack Obama on December 31, 2015. Here's a transcript of his remarks:


My fellow Americans,

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, we're reminded that the challenges we face are not unique to us, but are shared by people all around the world. We're reminded that the struggles we've overcome are a testament to our resilience, our determination, and our capacity to work together.

As we look out at the world, we see a landscape that's been shaped by conflict and crisis. We see refugees fleeing war and persecution, seeking safety and security. We see communities struggling to recover from natural disasters, and economies grappling with the consequences of inequality and injustice.

But we also see a world that's full of hope and promise. We see young people who are demanding a better future, who are fighting for their rights, and who are refusing to accept the status quo. We see entrepreneurs and innovators who are creating new opportunities, who are driving progress, and who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

As we look to the year ahead, we're reminded that the choices we make will shape not just our own lives, but the lives of generations to come. We're reminded that the decisions we take will have consequences that ripple across the globe.

So as we enter this new year, let us resolve to be guided by our values of justice, equality, and compassion. Let us resolve to stand up for the rights of all people, regardless of their race, religion, or nationality. Let us resolve to protect the most vulnerable among us, and to defend the most fundamental of human rights.

Let us also resolve to work together, to find common ground, and to build bridges across our differences. Let us recognize that our diversity is our strength, and that our differences are what make us stronger.

And let us remember that the greatest challenges we face are not just economic or political, but also moral. Let us remember that the greatest test of our character is not how we respond to crisis, but how we treat each other in times of peace.

So as we enter this new year, let us be guided by the values that have always defined us as a people. Let us be guided by the hope and optimism that has always driven us forward. And let us be guided by the knowledge that together, we can overcome even the greatest of challenges.

Thank you, and God bless America.


I hope that helps!
