The President: I also believe in a higher principle,
which is we're all in this together.
That's the spirit that made
the American economy work.
(applause)
That's what made the American economy not just the world's
greatest wealth creator, but the world's greatest
opportunity generator.
And because you're America's future business leaders
and civic leaders, that makes you the stewards of America's
greatest singlet asset -- and that's our people.
So as you engage in the pursuit of profits,
I challenge you to do so with a sense of purpose.
As you chase your own success, I challenge you to cultivate
more ways to help more Americans chase their success.
It is the American people who've made the progress
of the last six years possible.
It is the American people who will make our
future progress possible.
It is the American people that make
American business successful.
And they should share in that success.
It's not just for you.
It's for us.
Because it's the American people that made the investments
over the course of generations to allow you
and me to be here and experience this success.
That's the story of America.
America is a story of progress -- sometimes halting,
sometimes incomplete, sometimes harshly challenged.
But the story of America is a story of progress.
