Campaign Speech - Foreign Policy
July 16, 2008 COL 41 min Reagan Building
NTSC: $399 PAL: $449
Democratic Nominee for President, Barack Obama, states we needed a new overarching strategy to meet the challenges of a new and dangerous world. Such a strategy would join overwhelming military strength with sound judgment. The attacks of September 11 brought new reality into a terrible and ominous focus.
We could have deployed the full force of American power to hunt down and destroy Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida, the Taliban, and all of the terrorists responsible for 9/11, while supporting real security in Afghanistan. We could have secured loose nuclear materials around the world, and updated a 20th century non-proliferation framework to meet the challenges of the 21st. We could have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in alternative sources of energy to grow our economy, save our planet, and end the tyranny of oil. We could have strengthened old alliances, formed new partnerships, and renewed international institutions to advance peace and prosperity. We could have called on a new generation to step into the strong currents of history, and to serve their country as troops and teachers, Peace Corps volunteers and police officers. We could have secured our homeland--investing in sophisticated new protection for our ports, our trains and our power plants. We could have rebuilt our roads and bridges, laid down new rail and broadband and electricity systems, and made college affordable for every American to strengthen our ability to compete. We could have done that. Instead, we have lost thousands of American lives, spent nearly a trillion dollars, alienated allies and neglected emerging threats - all in the cause of fighting a war for well over five years in a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.
I am running for President of the United States to lead this country in a new direction - to seize this moment's promise. As President, I will pursue a tough, smart and principled national security strategy. - I opposed going to war in Iraq. In the 18 months since the surge began, as I warned at the outset - Iraq's leaders have not made the political progress that was the purpose of the surge. That's why the second goal of my new strategy will be taking the fight to al-Qaida in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We can't succeed in Afghanistan or secure our homeland unless we change our Pakistan policy. We cannot tolerate nuclear weapons in the hands of nations that support terror. Preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons is a vital national security interest of the United States. One of the most dangerous weapons in the world today is the price of oil. We ship nearly $700 million a day to unstable or hostile nations for their oil. I'll invest $150 billion over the next ten years to put America on the path to true energy security. This immediate danger is eclipsed only by the long-term threat from climate change, which will lead to devastating weather patterns, terrible storms, drought, and famine. We'll set a goal of an 80% reduction in global carbom emissions by 2050 Now it falls to join with friends and partners to lead the world anew.

Introduction by Gov. Kaine calling Obama a “unifier and a man who will bring about change at a time our nation needs it". Positioning himself as a champion of the middle class, Obama said "ultimately this election is not about me, it's about you. It's about your hopes. It's about your dreams. So just remember that fact - this election is about you and who's going to fight for you."
He noted that family income had gone up $6,000 under Former President Bill Clinton, but had gone down $1,000 under President George W. Bush. He said ordinary Americans need someone in the White House fighting for them. Mr. Obama turned to issues: taxes, health care, energy, companies that ship jobs overseas. He mentioned 95% of families would get tax relief under his plan; they would make health care available to everyone; he would launch an Apollo Project aimed at reducing dependency on foreign oil by 30%.

Obama then took questions from the audience. Inexperience on foreign policy, his top priority first 120 days in office, privatizing the postal service.

"On Monday, over the course of a few hours, the failure to pass the economic rescue plan in the House led to the single largest decline of the stock market in two decades. This financial crisis is a direct result of the greed and irresponsibility that has dominated Washington and Wall Street for years.

It's time to return to the fiscal responsibility and pay as you go budgeting that we had in the 1990s. I will go through the entire federal budget, page by page, line by line, and eliminate the programs that don't work and aren't needed. That's what I'll do as President. I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95% of all workers and their families. And if you make less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increase one single dime. I will reform our health care system to relieve families, businesses, and the entire economy from the crushing cost of health care by investing in new technology and preventative care. To create new jobs, I'll invest in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure - our roads, schools, and bridges. We'll rebuild our outdated electricity grid and build new broadband lines to connect America. And I'll create the jobs of the future by transforming our energy economy.

Democratic Nominee for President, Barack Obma speaks of a moment of great uncertainty for America. Significant drop in the stock market as this financial crisis grew worse. Same thing happened with markets around the world. This morning, the Federal Reserve took swift action together with other nations to stem what is now a full-blown global financial crisis. It will take new leadership in Washington. It will take a real change in the policies and politics of the last eight years.
Health care is personal for me. My mother died of ovarian cancer at the age of 53, and I'll never forget how she spent the final months of her life lying in a hospital bed, fighting with her insurance company because they claimed that her cancer was a pre-existing My health care plan will ensure that insurance companies can't discriminate against those who are sick and need care most. If you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance that Members of Congress get for themselves.
Eight years of economic policies that put Wall Street before Main Street but ended up hurting both. I'll give a middle-class tax cut to 95% of all workers. If you make less than $250,000 a year, you won't see your taxes increase one single dime - not your payroll taxes, not your income taxes, not your capital gains taxes - nothing. The last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class.
I'll put two million more Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling roads, schools, and bridges - because it is time to build an American infrastructure for the 21st century. I will invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of energy to create five million new, green jobs over the next decade - jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced; jobs building solar panels and wind turbines and fuel-efficient cars; jobs that will help us end our dependence on oil from Middle East dictators. If you commit to serving your country after you graduate, we will make sure you can afford your tuition. You invest in America, America will invest in you.
I will take on the corruption in Washington and on Wall Street I will go through the entire federal budget, page by page, line by line, and eliminate programs that don't work and aren't needed. We'll start by ending a war in Iraq
