Here are 10 pointers from the historic speech delivered by US President –

# America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started.

# “You made me a better president, you made me a better man.”

# I reject discrimination against Muslim Americans.

# We’ve taken out tens of thousands of terrorists, including Osama bin Laden.

# The bubbles and rise of naked partisanship is a threat to our democracy.

# Race remains a potent and often divisive force in our society.

# A great gift our Founders gave us. The freedom to chase our individual dreams through our sweat, toil, and imagination.

# I can’t do that, says US President Barack Obama as crowd shouts “four more years”.

Obama to Joe Biden: You were first choice I made as a nominee, and it was the best; in the bargain, I gained a brother.
