| Description | For the better part of a century, Americans have assumed we would always remain the world's greatest power, regardless of which party or president occupied the White House. We were too important, rich and strong to falter, our democracy too wise to fail.
The economy's unraveling this fall is but the latest grave reminder that nothing is guaranteed. In a few short years, we have squandered our resources and international prestige on an ill-advised war. Through blind faith in deregulated markets, our leaders have undermined the nation's economic stability while recklessly creating a national debt of $10 trillion.
Americans need a clean and dramatic break from the derelict policies of George W. Bush. We desperately need a president who will restore our standing in the world and re-energize us at home by turning attention to issues that Bush ignored: the need for energy independence, the stagnant wages of the middle class and the lack of affordable health care.
Barack Obama will be such a president. He speaks to Americans' yearning for renewal. He has the ability to restore America's confidence and guide this country toward a more stable and secure future. |
