There Is A Little Bit Of That

The Interests We Share As Human Beings Are Far More Powerful Than The Forces That Drive Us Apart.

Cutting Benefits Is Not The Right Answer. Raising The Retirement Age Is Not The Best Option.

The Role Of Government Has Never Been To Plan Every Detail Or Dictate Every Outcome. At Its Best, Government Has Simply Knocked Away Barriers To Opportunity And Laid The Foundation For A Better Future.

And If We Can Do That Again -- If We Can Continue Building That Foundation And Making Those Hard Decisions On Behalf Of The Next Generation -- I Have No Doubt That We Will Leave Our Children The America That We All Hope For.
