“I reminded them that opportunities like this come around maybe once in a generation,’’ the president said, adding that “most public servants pass through their entire careers without” such an opportunity.
“This is their moment,’’ the president said. “This is our moment to live up to the trust that the American people have placed in us, even when it’s hard – especially when it’s hard. This is our moment to deliver.’’
