It was just me lying in bed, looking up on the ceiling just daydreaming as to how perfect this summer is going to turn like. But all that suddenly changed for me from a

American people, believe. He did so, by reminding the American people, as one nation the United States can come out strong on the other side of the global financial crisis.
