Weekly Wrap Up: “And Every Day, It Gets Better.”

Posted by White House

A quick look at the week of October 18, 2010:

Quote: “As a nation we’re founded on the belief that all of us are equal and each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness; to make the most of our talents; to speak our minds; to not fit in; most of all, to be true to ourselves. That’s the freedom that enriches all of us. That’s what America is all about. And every day, it gets better.”
