Obama gives a beautiful tribute to his family and friends.

Michelle – for the past twenty-five years, you’ve been not only my wife and mother of my children, but my best friend. You took on a role you didn’t ask for and made it your own with grace and grit and style and good humor. You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody. And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model. You’ve made me proud. You’ve made the country proud.

Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful, but more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion. You wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily. Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud to be your dad.

To Joe Biden, the scrappy kid from Scranton who became Delaware’s favorite son: you were the first choice I made as a nominee, and the best. Not just because you have been a great Vice President, but because in the bargain, I gained a brother. We love you and Jill like family, and your friendship has been one of the great joys of our life.

Love this man and his family they stabilized us in a world gone mad after Bush and party spiraled us downward into recession. On the brink of a depression they worked relentlessly to raise us up again. While Obama stabilized a downward slide. Michelle and daughters gave us a garden. Taught us nutrition and showed us how to move. The love and the laughter in a garden of children learning touching and feeling the delight in the wealth of reaping the benefit of what they sowed in that garden. You nurture and grow. You do that by caring. That is it. You sow. Then nurture and grow into a place where we can all reap the benefits.

Two families, Obama and Biden. All close friends, actually a family unit.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
