There's reason to be optimistic. I look at all of you and I see the enthusiasm, I see the sense of possibilities. I was once asked by Xi Jinping in China … spent a lot of time with him, traveled 17,000 miles with him. He said, "Can you define America for me?" I said, "I can in one word, and I mean it: possibilities." Anything is possible in this country if we do it together, and we're going to start that now."
