"This first two weeks had been adjusting to what will be a year or more...my new home and my new dreams... I had always love traveling, but I have to say, this is a very different way, never went through my mind until I met Marc." Indira.

HOPE

Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.

Barack Hussein Obama
The inaugural speech

"Este es el viaje que continuamos hoy. Seguimos siendo la nación más próspera y poderosa de la Tierra. Nuestros trabajadores no son menos productivos que cuando empezó esta crisis. Nuestras mentes no son menos inventivas, nuestros bienes y servicios no son menos necesarios que la semana pasada, el mes pasado o el año pasado. Nuestra capacidad no ha disminuido. Pero el tiempo del inmovilismo, de la protección de intereses limitados y de aplazar las decisiones desagradables, ese tiempo seguramente ha pasado. A partir de hoy, debemos levantarnos, sacudirnos el polvo y volver a empezar la tarea de rehacer Estados Unidos."

"This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America."
