Extraits
du discours de Barack Obama sur le patriotisme :
"Throughout my life, I have always taken my deep and abiding love for this country as a given."
"It was how I was raised. It was what propelled me into public service. It is why I am running for president. And yet at times over the last 16 months, my patriotism has been challenged -- at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears about who I am and what I stand for."
