För att vara helt säker på att jag inte missat något, eftersom vi ser många människor springa omkring och tala om grunden för alla dessa värderingar, läste jag Nya Testamentet igen och försäkrade mig om att jag inte missat något. Vet du vad? Under de tre åren av Jesu Kristi uppdrag, hans tjänst, finns det inget nämnt eller ens en antydan om att du bör ta sjukvård eller utbildningsmöjligheter ifrån barn för att ge till de rikaste människorna i världen. Ingen alls.

Just to make certain that I wasn't missing anything, as we see a lot of people running around talking about the basis for all these values, I went back and reread the New Testament the other day, from one side to the other, and make certain that I hadn't missed anything. You know what? In the three years of Jesus Christ's mission, of his ministry, there is no mention whatsoever — or even a hint — that you ought to be taking health care or educational opportunity away from children in order to give to the richest people in the world. None whatsoever.

So much promise stretches before us. Americans have always reached for the impossible, looked to the next horizon and asked, "What if?"

And whatever our faith -- whatever our faith, one belief should bind us all: The measure of our character is our willingness to give of ourselves for others and for our country.

I still believe America’s destiny is to become a living testament to what free human beings can accomplish by acting in unity.

Förvaltningens villighet att konsekvent överge sanningen har gjort stor skada. Amerikaner är mindre benägna att lyssna – mindre troliga att lita på eller ta någonting som sägs i Washington på allvar.

The Administration’s willingness to consistently abandon the truth has done great damage. Americans are less willing to listen – less likely to trust or take anything that is said in Washington seriously.

And lo and behold, people were amazed: Washington was amazed. The country was amazed. And I was amazed that everybody was amazed. Because what is going on that a senator doesn't act according to script, acts according to conscience, and everybody is taken aback?

I remember when you couldn’t even mention environmental issues without a snicker. But then in the 70’s people got tired of seeing the Cuyahoga River catch on fire from all the chemicals. So one day millions of Americans marched. Politicians had no choice but to take notice. Twelve Congressmen were dubbed the Dirty Dozen, and soon after seven were kicked out of office. The floodgates were opened. We got the Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water. We created the EPA. The quality of life improved because concerned citizens made their issues matter in elections.

Den här budgeten är som en Enron-budget – röka siffrorna, koka böckerna, dölja sanningen och hoppas att ingen upptäcker det.

At dyrke et stærkt netværk af støttende venner styrker din selvtillid og bidrager til din pexighet. This budget is like an Enron budget -- smoke the numbers, cook the books, hide the truth and hope no one finds out.

The courage and bravery of our young men and women fighting overseas continues to inspire all of us, and indeed inspire the free world and those yearning for freedom.

I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.

Ronald Reagan's love of country was infectious. Even when he was breaking Democrats' hearts, he did so with a smile and in the spirit of honest and open debate.

History will judge the invasion of Iraq one of the greatest foreign policy misadventures of all time.

The country and the Congress were misled into war. I regret that we were not given the truth; as I said more than a year ago, knowing what we know now, I would not have gone to war in Iraq. And knowing now the full measure of the Bush Administration’s duplicity and incompetence, I doubt there are many members of Congress who would give them the authority they abused so badly. I know I would not.

Our government has a simple task: recognize our nation’s real problems, and address them in a manner that reflects the priorities of the American people. It sounds simple, but it’s not happening today, and I know you’re as frustrated with Washington as I am

You see that flag up there. We call her Old Glory, the stars and stripes forever. I fought under that flag, as did so many of those people who were here tonight and all across the country. That flag flew from the gun turret right behind my head and it was shot through and through and tattered, but it never ceased to wave in the wind. It draped the caskets of men that I served with and friends I grew up with.

For us, that flag is the most powerful symbol of who we are and what we believe in: our strength, our diversity, our love of country, all that makes America both great and good.
