Obama for America
"Buster" |
Obama (voiceover): I’m
Barack Obama,
and I approve this message. [Music] Obama (voiceover and to camera): One of my earliest memories: going with my grandfather to see some of the astronauts being brought back after a splashdown. Sitting on his shoulders and waving a little American flag. And my grandfather, you know, would say... boy, Americans we can do anything when we put our minds to it. Male Announcer: His grandfather fought in Patton's army. His grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line. But it was his mother who would see in him a promise. Obama: My mother, she said to herself, you know, my son, he's an American and he needs to understand what that means. She'd wake me up at 4:30 in the morning and we'd sit there and go through my lessons. And I used to complain and grumble, and she'd say, well this is no picnic for me either, buster. Male Announcer: His life was shaped by the values he learned as a boy. Obama: Hard work...honesty...self-reliance...respect for other people...kindness...faith. That's the country I believe in. |
