IT IS NOT WORTH WHILE TO GO AROUND
THE WORLD TO COUNT THE CATS IN
ZANZIBAR.
Henry David Thoreau
This is a remarkable moment in the life of our nation. Never has the
promise of prosperity been so vivid. But times of plenty, likes times
of crisis, are tests of American character.
Prosperity can be a tool in our hands, used to build and better our
country. Or it can be a drug in our system -- dulling our sense of
urgency, of empathy, of duty.
Our opportunities are too great, our lives too short, to waste this
moment....We will seize this moment of American promise.
We will confront the hard issues — threats to our national security,
threats to our health and retirement security — before the challenges
of our time become crises for our children...
This nation is daring and decent and ready for change...
But this administration, during eight years of increasing need, did
nothing. They had their moment. They have not led. I will.
Our generation has a chance to reclaim some essential values, to show
we have grown up before we grow old...
But when the moment for leadership came, this administration did not
teach our children, it disillusioned them....
We must teach our children the values that defeat violence. I will
lead our nation toward a culture that values life, the life of the
elderly and the sick, and the life of the young...
A hundred years from now, this must not be remembered as an age rich
in possessions and poor in ideals...
Should I become President, I will work to call upon the best of the
nation. A leader's responsibility is to understand that the great
armies of compassion, which exist all across America, must be rallied
to make sure no one gets left behind.
It is the role of a leader to share wisdom, to share experience with
people who are looking for someone to lead.
I understand the awesome responsibility of this job. I understand the
serious undertaking of answering to the calls of mothers and fathers
who I see all the time around America, who come to my rallies and
hold a picture of their child and look me in the eye and say, 'Never
let us down again' I hear those calls.
This country is ready for change. It's ready for bipartisan
leadership. It's ready for a leader who will bring this great country
together. This country wants a leader who understands how to lead,
how to bring folks together.
I stand squarely with the people. There's a big difference in
philosophy in this campaign. I'm running against a candidate of
Washington, by Washington and for Washington. Mine is a campaign that
stands squarely on the side of the people and the families and the
workers of America.
It's time for a leader to bring Republicans and Democrats together.
After eight years of partisan bickering and name-calling, it's time
for new leadership to bring Republicans and Democrats together, to be
able to say that a promise made is a promise kept, to reject old-
style politics that tries to frighten folks, to reject the old
business of trying to tear someone down while the issues still
remain.
Now is the time for new leadership that understands we must trust
younger people...
Now is the time, now is the time, for Republicans and Democrats to
end the politics of fear...
On principle, those in the greatest need should receive the greatest
help. The world needs America's strength and leadership.
Thus spoke His Eloquence. However, in the words cited above, His
Eloquence is not, as one would suspect, Barack Obama. His Eloquence
was a candidate running for President in 2000. His Eloquence was
George W. Bush, speaking at the Republican National Convention.
