Bill Clinton said something important and memorable tonight. From the beginning of Barack's candidacy I felt the same way, but couldn't express it as eloquently:
"Barack Obama knows that America cannot be strong abroad unless we are strong at home. People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."
-- Bill Clinton
August 27, 2008
That's the America that I want to return to -- a country where individuals have opportunities to succeed and improve their lives by working hard, improving their skills, and contributing to society. An America in which innovation and creativity are encouraged and supported by government, education, and industry. A country that inspires the world by the example it sets.
