Town Hall Debate - Final Question: What don't you know an...


http://...

SEN. OBAMA: My wife, Michelle, is there, and she could give you
a much longer list than I do. (Laughter.) And most of the time, I
learn it by asking her.
But look, the nature of the challenges that we're going to face
are immense. And one of the things that we know about the presidency
is that it's never the challenges that you expect, it's the challenges
that you don't that end up consuming most of your time.
But here's what I do know. I know that I wouldn't be standing
here if it weren't for the fact that this country gave me opportunity.
You know, I came from very modest means. I had a single mom, and my
grandparents raised me, and it was because of the help of scholarships
and my grandmother scrimping on things that, you know, she might have
wanted to purchase, and my mom at one point getting food stamps in
order for us to put food on the table. Despite all that, I was able
to go to the best schools on Earth. I was able to succeed in a way
that I could not have succeeded anywhere else in this country. The
same is true for Michelle, and I'm sure the same is true for a lot of
you.
And the question in this election is, are we going to pass on
that same American dream to the next generation? Over the last eight
years, we've seen that dream diminish.


Wages and incomes have gone down. People have lost their health care
or are going bankrupt because they get sick.
We've got young people who have got the grades and the will and
the drive to go to college. But they just don't have the money. And
we can't expect that if we do the same things that we've been doing,
over the last
