Obama began. Thank you to the people of Prague. Thank you to the people of the Czech Republic. Today, I'm proud to stand here with you in the middle of this great city, in the center of Europe. And to the people of the Czech Republic, thank you for your friendship to the United States. I've learned over many years to appreciate the good company and the good humor of the Czech people in my hometown of Chicago. Behind me is a statue of a hero of the Czech people - Tomas Masaryk. In 1918, after America had pledged its support for Czech independence, Masaryk spoke to a crowd in Chicago that was estimated to be over 100,000. Obama also said President Trump is a symptom, not the cause of division in America today, and emphasized that only voters can change the present. We have been through much darker times than these, and somehow each generation of Americans carried us through to the other side, he said. Not by sitting around and waiting for something to happen, not by le. Barack Obama's campaign speech. The Illinois senator this afternoon formally announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2008. Here is the full transcript of his speech. We welcomed immigrants to our shores, we opened railroads to the west, we landed a man on the moon, and we heard a King's call to let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done. Today we are called once more - and it is time for our generation to answer that call. For that is our unyielding faith - that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it. List of international presidential trips made by Barack Obama.
