“You tell them, it’s still about hope. It’s still about change. …We can make a difference in the life of this country,”
Obama, introduced with an emotional appeal from First Lady Michelle Obama, drew stark contrasts between himself and Mitt Romney, portraying the presumed Republican nominee as a successful businessman, patriot and family man but one who has the wrong prescriptions for the country. “He sincerely believes that if CEOs and wealthy investors like him make money, the rest of us will prosper as well,” Obama said. “Why else would he propose cutting his own taxes while raising them on 18 million working families?”
Obama also tied Romney to Republicans in Congress. “For the past two years, the Republicans who run this Congress have insisted we go right back to the policies that created this mess,” Obama said, only now they want to do it “on steroids” with deeper cuts to important spending programs and deeper tax cuts for the wealthy. “This time they want to give banks and insurance companies even more power to do as they please,” Obama said.
The Republicans “have found a nominee who has promised to rubber stamp this agenda if he gets the chance….We cannot give him that chance! …We’ve been through too much to turn back now!”
Obama ripped Romney’s statement last year that “corporations are people.” “Corporations aren’t people,” Obama said. “People are people!”
Obama said Romney called it “tragic” to end the war in Iraq and doesn’t want a timeline to end the war in Afghanistan. “After a decade of war that’s cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, the nation we need to build is our own,” Obama said.
On Medicare, Obama said he would “never” allow it to become a voucher program, and defended his health care overhaul. And he explicitly made the election in part a referendum on the rights of women — from health insurance to birth control. “We don’t need another political fight about ending a woman’s right to choose or getting rid of Planned Parenthood or taking away affordable access to birth control,” he said. “I want my daughters to have the same opportunities as your sons…We are not turning back the clock…We are moving forward!”
