“You care less about the world as it has been, and more about the world as it should be and can be. And unlike any other time in our history, the technology at your disposal means that you don’t have to wait for the change that you’re looking for; you have the freedom to create it in your own in powerful and disruptive ways. Many of you already have, whether by starting your own enterprises or by helping others start theirs.” — President Obama
“Greetings, massive! Wah gwaan, Jamaica?”
“I can say with all sincerity that the essence of my policy is to do whatever I can to make sure that the people of Cuba are able to prosper and live in freedom and security, and enjoy a connection with the world where their incredible talents and ingenuity and hard work can thrive.” — President Obama with President Castro
“With Panama’s leadership, our nations have come together to focus on the world, on the future, and on what we can build for the one billion people of the Americas.” — President Obama
