The real war is not in Iraq, but right here in America. It's the War on Poverty, and it's a war that's been ignored and lost. An estimated 37 million Americans are living in poverty.

We've repeatedly given tax cuts to the wealthiest and left our most vulnerable American citizens to basically fend for themselves. |

| Do we have a big task ahead of us tomorrow? Yes. Is it an impossible task? I don't think so. We're going into it with the idea that we're going to have fun and see what happens. |
| Because they don't speak, people are free to project all sorts of ideas onto them. People are always telling you what dogs are thinking . . . But dogs don't think like people. We're beginning to lose sight of that in our neediness. |

| If the splendor of thousands of suns were to blaze forth all at once in the sky, even that would not resemble the splendor of that exalted being. |
