So time rolls on. There will be a new custodian of this great institution. There will be other times to reminisce. I'm immensely proud of the accomplishments I have played some role in obtaining for the American people.
Today is not the day to discuss all of that because, as I said earlier, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. I still have enough gas in the tank to thoroughly disappoint my critics and I intend to do so with all the enthusiasm which they have become accustomed.
To my colleagues, thank you for entrusting me with our success. It has been an honor to work with each of you. There will be plenty of time to express my gratitude in greater detail as I sprint towards the finish line, which is now in sight.
