[Music] Obama voiceover: I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.

Obama: America is listening.  Not just Democrats, but Republicans and Independents who’ve lost trust in their government but want to believe again. 

I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over.  [cheers]

I have done more than any other candidate in this race to take on the lobbyists, and I have won. They have not funded my campaign, and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am president.  [cheers]

I am in this race to take those tax breaks away from companies that are moving jobs overseas and put them in the pockets of hard-working Americans who deserve them.  [cheers]

I want to stop talking about the outrage of 47 million Americans without healthcare and start actually doing something about it.  [cheers]

That’s why I’m running, Iowa. 

Your future is our future, and our moment is now.
