About This Quote
Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as social progress, but what they fail to realize is that there is no such thing as universal progress. Society can only advance when individuals advance it - and this is exactly what President Obama's election victory was all about. It was about the power of individuals to make a difference and thereby change their own lives for the better.
