Which U.S. president said: "Change will not come if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change "?

President Barack Obama used these lines before he was president. He pointedly said "Change will not come if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." This specific quote has the previous lines from Senator Barack Obama’s speech to supporters after the February 5, 2008 Super Tuesday primary election results had filtered in.

Mr. Obama was telling Americans that "You see, the challenges we face will not be solved with one meeting in one night. It will not be resolved on even a Super Duper Tuesday. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. We are the hope of those boys who have so little, who've been told that they cannot have what they dream, that they cannot be what they imagine. Yes, they can." These are very powerful words for anyone especially Americans in an election campaign to hear.

"We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
