Obama started by saying, "Over the years, Laura and I have traveled across this country, and around the world." Bush continued, "We visited with you at your schools, libraries, diners, places of worship, and even at your kitchen tables."

Obama then explained, "And we've had the profound privilege of getting to know you and your families. Your hopes, your struggles, and you triumphs."

You're the fabric of our country, and your strength will carry us through this crisis."

Finally, Obama said to the audience, "The coming days will not be easy. But this global family of ours is strong. We will continue to be here for one another. And we will get through this crisis together. Thank you."
