These enemies must be found. If John McCain wants to follow George Bush with more tough talk and bad strategy, that is his choice - but it is not the change we need.

A belief that we're all connected as one people. It's that we all have it within our power to make this a better world.

Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy.

In the Republicans who never thought they'd pick up a Democratic ballot, but did. This cycle of suspicion and discord must end. No single speech can eradicate years of mistrust, nor can I answer in the time that I have all the complex questions that brought us to this point. But it should be their choice.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
