Actually, I Didn't Say That.

If I Am Elected President Of These United States, I Will Work With All My Energy And Soul To Restore That America, To Lift Our Eyes To A Better Future. That Future Is Our Destiny. That Future Is Out There. It Is Waiting For Us. Our Children Deserve It, Our Nation Depends Upon It, The Peace And Freedom Of The World Require It.

The Nation, As You Know, Is At A Critical Point. At A Time Like This We Can't Risk Partisan Bickering And Political Posturing. Our Leaders Have To Reach Across The Aisle To Do The People's Work.

This Is Something The Democrats Have Talked About, And A Goal We Share, Getting Everyone Insured, And Solving The Issue In A Republican Way, Which Is Applying A Personal Responsibility Principle (individual Mandate), Reforming The Market (more Strictly Regulating The Insurance Companies), And Allowing People To Buy Private Health Care Insurance That They Can Take With Them From Job To Job That's Entirely Affordable. So It's A Republican Way Of Solving A Problem That We Face As A Nation.

Let's Take Energy, For Instance. I Understand That In Some Industries, The Input Cost Of Energy Is A Major Factor In Whether An Industry Is Going To Locate In The United States Or Go Elsewhere. So, When, At Bain Capital, We Started A New Steel Company Called Steel Dynamics In Indiana, The Cost Of Energy Was A Very Important Factor To The Success Of That Enterprise.

I Wish President Obama Had Succeeded Because I Want America To Succeed. But His Promises Gave Way To Disappointment And Division. This Isn't Something We Have To Accept. Now Is The Moment When We Can Do Something. With Your Help We Will Do Something.
