What Obamas Victory Speech Says About the Next Four Years
November 7, 2012
President Obama gave a rallying victory speech in the early hours of November 7 what many pundits said should have been his speech at the Democratic National Convention but perhaps what was most important were some of the themes that the president touched on in the speech that may provide hints at a second-term agenda.
Key quotes:
Voting reform: I want to thank every American who participated in this election whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that.
Climate change: We want our children to live in an America that isnt burdened by debt, that isnt weakened by inequality, that isnt threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.
Immigration reform: We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America, open to the dreams of an immigrants daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag.
