Michelle and I weve really been milking this good-bye thing, he begins. So it behooves me to be very brief.

He says that when they started, they did so with an abiding faith in the American people.

All of you came together in small towns and big cities, a whole bunch of you really young, and you decided to believe. And you knocked on doors and made phone calls, and talked to your parents who didnt know how to pronounce Barack Obama.

"Throughout this process, Michelle and I, weve just been your frontmen and women. Weve just been your face and voice. But this has not been about us. It has always been about you. And all the amazing things that have happened in the last ten years have all just been about you."
