thank you
thank you
a teacher
an entrepreneur
an autoworker
a farmer
a doctor
give thanks for being home
from a war
you make our union strong
adding jobs
adding oil
this can be a breakthrough year for America!
faith and credit
rebuild the trust
invest in
the future
hopes, aspirations
what unites this nation?
opportunity for all!
those at the top have rarely done better
while
upward mobility
has stalled
too many
have stalled
on
the ladders of opportunity
lets move
lets join forces
lets help every hard working kid
go to college
millions are tired
of stale
millions are tired
millions have given up
the son of a single mom
isn't every man
the son of a single mom?
lets flip equations
create jobs
turn things around
right here at home
create jobs
rebuild infrastructure
as fast as possible
create hubs
to lead the world
we own the edge
we cannot surrender
industries to be built on vaccines
and paper stronger than steel
and innovation stronger than
litigation
i'll get those factories built
and strengthen protection
of air
and water
and future generations
it's not oil and gas
it's smarter tax policy
that builds the future
cleaner safer fracking
cleaner safer pollution
we are still the worst
but we are the best
the dirtiest, but the
cleanest
time to heed the call
broken
immigration reform
will shrink our economy
and make us more attractive
lets get it done!
rapidlychanginggrowingeconomy...
train americans
right now
train on the job
put him in jail
if he smokes a joint
reforming
employment insurance
a month ago
i wrote a letter
and now i'm on tv
give em a chance
give em a chance
give every child a chance
at a world class education
at world class prices
race to the top
critical thinking
more challenges
better parents
but its worth it!
that has to change
race to the top
for our youngest
race to the bottom
for the rest
partner the rest
with google
and apple
and the leading
corporations
too many will see this
as empty promise
we need to restore
the dignity of hard work
if not the pay
women deserve
equal pay
so lets do away
with the difference
lets make sure
every woman succeeds
americans agree;
no one who works
should be in poverty
therefore i ask
that employers be nice
and raise wages
and when you're making
ten ten
you'll be owning
a home!
and isn't affordable care great?
i did all this
for america
lets see
if the numbers add up
citizenship
means standing up
the power of the vote
drives our democracy
this chamber agrees
extraordinary troops
make us secure
troops come home for
our security
we will support
a unified Afghanistan
for our security
we will support
a unified al Qaeda
in Yeman
in Somalia
at home we will
keep faith
and invest
in future missions
our leadership
our security
cannot depend
on targeted efforts
vital confidence
depends
on ordinary people being violated
so we will counter
terrorism
with our ideals
let me be clear
we must give
diplomacy
a chance
or else
all options
Iran could take
a chance
and risk war
forge greater understanding
free people from fear
and want
from Tunisia to Burma
to Ukraine to Africa
we're building commerce
and will continue
to focus
and extend one hand
and greet them
with kindness
and next week we will
march into Sochi
with the red white and blue
the burdens we bear
to advance America
a new generation will
slash health care
and that mental health
that they need
every veteran will
stay in touch
Cory was nearly killed
in that wasted
wasted
wasted time in
Afghanistan
even now Cory is still
blind
but slowly
he is learning to speak
and is slowly
becoming the man he was
before Afghanistan
Cory gets a standing O
men and women like Cory
remind us
that there are them
and us
and that collective shoulder
on the wheel of progress
is just a metaphor
what we want for our kids most
is to not be Cory
our eyes are cast to tomorrow
God bless me,
God bless us,
God bless America
