ON THE AMERICAN DREAM

President BARACK OBAMA spoke on American Dream at University of Massachusetts at Boston Commencement Address on June 2, 2006  said: Stay amazed, and remain in wonder at this unlikely place we call America. I think it's easy for some people to look at all the challenges we face; to look at poverty and war and racism and inequality and hatred and helplessness, and to get down on this country as a result.
To think that there's something wrong with us and that there is little hope to make things better. If you ever feel like that yourselves, I ask you remember all the amazing and unlikely things that have happened in this country. This is America. A place where millions of restless adventures from all over the world, still weary of their lot in life-still hoping for something better-have longed to travel great distances and take great risks foe a chance to arrive on our shores.
