WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama sought to rally support for his domestic initiatives, while Sen. John McCain called for Americans to support Iranian election protesters. The one-time presidential rivals both cited the spirit of the nation's founders in their Fourth of July radio and Internet addresses.
Obama said an "unyielding spirit is what defines us as Americans" and led people during the nation's history to explore the West, persevere during the Depression and build a robust industrial economy.
That is the spirit [they] are called to show once more, Obama said to-day. [They] are facing an array of challenges on a scale unseen in [their!]time. [] And [their] economy — and [their] nation itself — are endangered by festering problems [they] have kicked down the road for far too long: spiraling health care costs; inadequate schools; and a dependence on foreign oil.
re-MINDS you of anyone?
