I think now you've finally got everybody in the country focused on it.

This health care system of ours is badly broken, and it is time to fix it.

Americans believe they ought to be able to choose their own health care plan and keep their own doctors.

We must achieve that security as soon as possible.

Our Nation's historically Black colleges and universities have long been a beacon of hope, a door to advancement, and a source of pride for African Americans.

People are going to pull together, talk together, feel a greater initial comfort level.

I hope that some day the success of this program will make it possible for every young American who wishes to serve and earn credit against a college education or other kinds of education and training, to do that.

We believe we can do that.

It is now commonplace to say that we are living through a time of profound change, not only in our country but around the world.
