It's a promise that says each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives what we will, but that we also have the obligation to treat each other with dignity and respect.

It's a promise that says the market should reward drive and innovation and generate growth, but that businesses should live up to their responsibilities to create American jobs, look out for American workers, and play by the rules of the road.

Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves, protect us from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys safe; invest in new schools and new roads and new science and technology.

Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity, not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work.

That's the promise of America, the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper.

How can you argue with that?

It's easy to argue with that considering who said it. There's no consistency between that speech and his policies. That speech contradicts other things that he has called for. Don't be so gullible, there is a lot at stake here.

Yep- GW pretty well showed us you can't believe a word said during the campaign :wink:
Better to look at their past history- and old McSames is made up of corruption, peddling influence, philandering and skirt chasing, and making decisions by the dollars waved under his nose and not on principles- which I don't think he has- just following his cultist leader GW 90-95% of the time....

No one can argue with that, but that's not the point. All politicians make promises and all politicians make speeches. Some are better at it than others. Obama is good at it. Reagan was one of the best. Since you're so easily swayed by flowery phrases and vague promises, I assume you're a huge Reagan fan. :lol: :lol:
