The keys to job creation

But I’m here to tell you, don’t let anybody tell you that this fight is not worth it.

Don’t let them tell you that we’re not making a difference.

Because of you, there is a woman in New Hampshire right now who no longer has to choose between losing her home and treating her cancer.

Because of you, there are parents right now who can look their children in the eye and guarantee that those kids are going to college.

Because of you, there are small business owners and clean energy entrepreneurs who can keep their doors open and put out “help wanted” signs in the window.

Because of you, there are nearly 100,000 brave men and women who are no longer at war in Iraq.

You lie!

Don’t let them tell you change isn’t possible.

Don’t let them convince you that we have not made progress.

We have made progress.

I’ve been using this analogy as I travel across the country.

Now, these folks drove the car into the ditch.

We all put on our boots and we went down into that ditch, and it was muddy and it was nasty and hot, and there were bugs.

But we decided we were going to get that car out of the ditch.

We kept on pushing.

We kept on shoving, and every once in awhile, we’d look up and the Republicans, they’d just be standing there, fanning themselves, sipping on a Slurpee.

And we would say, why don’t you come down and help?

They’d say, no, no.

That’s looks muddy down there, no.

So, we pushed anyway.

We kept on pushing.

We kept on pushing, and finally we got this car up on level ground, pointing in the right direction.

And, you know, look, the car is a little dented up.

It needs to go to the body shop.

It needs a tune-up.

But, it’s running and it’s ready to go forward.

And, suddenly, we get this tap on our shoulder and we look back.

And who is it?

The Republicans.

They say, excuse me, can we have the keys back?

And we got to tell them, no, you can’t have the keys back.

You don’t know how to drive.

You can’t have them back.

You can’t have them back.

You can ride with us, but you got to ride in the back seat.

We’re not going to have special interests riding shotgun.

We want the American people in the front.

You’ve noticed when you want your car to go forward, what do you do? You put it in “D.”

When you want it going backward, what do you do?

You put it in “R.”

We want to go forward.

We don’t want to go back.

Don’t let them take this country backwards.

Don’t let them take this country backwards because you didn’t care enough to fight for it.

Because if our parents and grandparents and great grandparents had made the same decision 50 years ago or 100 years ago, we would not be here tonight.

The only reason we are is because past generations were unafraid to push forward.

Even in the face of difficulty, even in the face of uncertainty, they were willing to do what was necessary, even when success was not promised and was sometimes slow, and you had to grind it out.

That’s how we got through war.

That’s how we got through depression.

That’s why we have civil rights.

That’s why we have workers’ rights.

That’s the spirit we need today.

The journey we started in 2008 was not about putting a President in the White House.

It was never just about getting to election night.

It was about every day after that, and building a movement for change that endures.

It’s about realizing that in the United States of America, anything is possible, if we’re willing to work for it and fight for it and believe in it.

So I need you all to keep on fighting.
,
I need all of you to knock on doors.

I need all of you to talk to your neighbors.

I need all of you to make phone calls.

I need all of you to commit to vote, because if you are willing to step up to the plate, we won’t just win this election, we’re going to restore our economy and rebuild our middle class, and we will reclaim the American Dream for this generation.

Thank you.

God bless you.

God bless the United States of America.
