President Obama’s Farewell Address "Yes we did."

President Obama’s Farewell Address: Full Video and Text (article)

This is the speech of Barack Obama's farewell. President's term of office which is eight years is going to end on January 20th, 2017.
I thought about the term of Japanese prime ministers, their politics and Japanese country while reading the article. In Japan, almost all the prime ministers resign or someone force them to resign the post before the expiration of the term of office. They only want to sit down the chair of the prime minister. They work to just get its chair but they don't think about Japanese country. It's a reason not only that we Japanese people can vote only a party but we can't choose the leader of its party. The leader becomes our Japanese prime minister. Almost all people seek their own benefits from someone who will be a prime minister. And then, other people don't go to the election.
So what I thought about one more thing while reading it, is about Japan and The United States are the same democratic countries. In the speech, Obama says that that's what he wants to focus on that night is the state of their democracy. It requires a basic sense of solidarity.  People are all in together when they rise or fall as one. It includes fear, depressing, corruption and blame. Politics is a battle of ideas.
However, people have to embrace the joyous task that they have been given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours. This is the country which is the United States of America. Not other people do but you do. The politics, the democracy and country need you.
I think that like Japan, it's not democracy that people think that someone would do but it'd be for getting benefits or sticking one position, and give up quickly.
Obama says that it has been the honor of his life, to serve his country's people. He won't stop it.
In the democratic country, people believe as a result that future is in good hands and they progress with their strong creed that they are Americans.
This is a great thing that we create our country ourselves. Yes we can.
