And there are plenty of well-funded special interests in Washington, and their powerful allies in Congress, who want to keep things just the way they are. But dont ever buy the line that theyre selling that we can somehow accomplish more by doing less. That might benefit their interests, but it wont benefit yours.
Thats not how we became America. Our parents, our grandparents, the founders of this country, didnt set their sights lower. They didnt settle for something less. And neither do we because were Americans. If were going to be the country we know we can be, weve got to keep doing the hard work of building the future of this country for our kids, just like our parents and grandparents did for us. (Applause.)
And let me tell you something. From now until November, the other side is going to spend more money than weve ever seen before, and they will be raining ads down on your head. And theyll tell you its all my fault I cant fix it because I think government is the answer to everything, or because I havent make a lot of money in the private sector, or I think everything is doing just fine. Thats what all the scary voices in the ads will tell you. Thats what Mitt Romney will say. Thats what Republicans in Congress will say.
And thats their plan for winning an election, but its not a plan to create jobs. (Applause.) Its not a plan to provide you with greater security for you and your family. Its not a plan to restore the middle class or restore the American Dream. And thats the kind of plan we need right now, is a plan to build the middle class and restore the American Dream.
