"Standing at the Acropolis, in the birthplace of democracy and the democratic values we hold dear as Americans, you gain perspective on the importance of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people - and how people, no matter what nation we belong to, will decide the kind of countries we will be, the ideals we'll keep reaching for, and the values that will define us."– President Obama talking about his visit to #Greece during his last overseas trip as president this week.

President Obama
On my last overseas trip as president, I finally had the opportunity to visit Greece and take in the beautiful history of this country. Standing at the Acropoli...s, in the birthplace of democracy and the democratic values we hold dear as Americans, you gain perspective on the importance of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people - and how people, no matter what nation we belong to, will decide the kind of countries we will be, the ideals we'll keep reaching for, and the values that will define us.

"In all of our communities, I still believe there’s more of what Greeks call philotimo—love, and respect, and kindness for family and community and country, and... a sense that we’re all in this together, with obligations to each other. Philotimo—I see it every day and that gives me hope. Because in the end, it is up to us. It's not somebody else's job, it's not somebody else's responsibility, but it's the citizens of our countries and the citizens of the world to bend that arc of history towards justice. And that’s what democracy allows us to do. It's why the most important office in any country is not president or prime minister. The most important title is 'citizen'—and in all our nations it will always be our citizens who decide the kind of countries we will be, the ideals that we will reach for, the values that will define us. In this great, imperfect, but necessary system of self-government, power and progress will always come from...'We, the people.'" —President Obama speaking in Athens—the birthplace of democracy—during his final foreign trip: go.wh.gov/POTUSabroad
