1. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat

2. Whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life Whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified.

3. For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth

4. For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions as; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.

5. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered

6. in reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never given. it must be earned. today i say to you that the challanges we face are real. they are serious and there are many. they will not be met easily or in a short span of time. byt know this, america: They will be met.
