My Fellow Americans, All Of Us In This Grand Hall And Everybody Watching At Home, When We Vote In This Election, We'll Be Deciding What Kind Of Country We Want To Live In. If You Want A Winner-take-all, You're-on-your-own Society, You Should Support The Republican Ticket. But If You Want A Country Of Shared Opportunities And Shared Responsibility, A We're-all-in-this-together Society, You Should Vote For Barack Obama And Joe Biden.

One Of The Real Dilemmas We Have In Our Country And Around The World Is That What Works In Politics Is Organization And Conflict. That Is, Drawing The Sharp Distinctions. But In Real Life, What Works Is Networks And Cooperation. And We Need Victories In Real Life, So We've Got To Get Back To Networks And Cooperation, Not Just Conflict. But Politics Has Always Been About Conflict, And In The Coverage Of Politics, Information Dissemination Tends To Be Organized Around Conflict As Well.

What Works In The Real World Is Cooperation.

I Tell You, My Fellow Americans, That If We Learned Anything From The Collapse Of The Berlin Wall And The Fall Of The Governments In Eastern Europe, Even A Totally Controlled Society Cannot Resist The Winds Of Change That Economics And Technology And Information Flow Have Imposed In This World Of Ours.

I Believe In Religious Liberty. I Believe In Freedom Of Speech. I Believe In Working Hard And Playing By The Rules. I'm Showing Up For Work Tomorrow. I'm Building That Bridge To The 21st Century. That Ought To Be The Test.

Nothing We Do In This Great Capital Can Change The Fact That Factories Or Information Can Flash Across The World, That People Can Move Money Around In The Blink Of An Eye... Nothing Can Change The Fact That Technology Can Be Adopted, Once Created, By People All Across The World And Then Rapidly Adapted In New And Different Ways By People Who Have A Little Different Take On The Way That Technology Works.

If, Two People Have Good Minds And They're Looking At Problems, If They Agree All The Time It Means One Of Them Is Not Thinking. If They Disagree All The Time, It Means One Of Them Is Not Thinking.

I've Been In Politics Long Enough To Expect Criticism And Hostility. But I Was Unprepared For The Hatred I Get From Christians. Why Do Christians Hate So Much?.

Undeniably, Character Does Count For Our Citizens, Out Communities, And Our Nation, And This Week We Celebrate The Importance Of Character In Our Individual Lives...

Instilling Sound Character In Our Children Is Essential To Maintaining The Strength Of Our Nation Into The 21st Century.

Therefore We Must Enforce Our Laws, But We Will Do So With Justice And Fairness.

I Want To Say To You Is That James Madison And Thomas Jefferson Did Not Intend To Drive A Stake In The Heart Of Religion And To Drive It Out Of Our Public Life.

We Are Very Frustrated Because We Have A Supreme Court That Seems Determined To Say That The Wealthier Have More Right To Free Speech Than The Rest Of Us.

Our Military Superiority Is So Great - It's Far Greater Than It Was In The Gulf War, And The Gulf War Was Over In 100 Hours After We Bombed For 43 Days. And So Now They Can Bomb For A Couple Of Days And Then Just Roll Into Baghdad... The Odds Are There's Going To Be A War And It's Going To Be Not For Very Long.

One Of The Main Reasons We Ought To Re-elect President Obama Is That He Is Still Committed To Constructive Cooperation... He Appointed Republican Secretaries Of Defense, The Army And Transportation. He Appointed A Vice President Who Ran Against Him In 2008.

In The Budget I Will Present To You, We Will Try To Do More To Speed The Deportation Of Illegal Aliens Who Are Arrested For Crimes, To Better Identify Illegal Aliens In The Workplace As Recommended By The Commission Headed By Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
