Excerpt from Senator Barack Obama’s
speech of June 9, 2008 in Raleigh, NC.:
“Before we begin, I just want to take
a minute to thank Senator Clinton for the kind and generous support she offered
on Saturday. She ran an historic campaign that shattered barriers on behalf of
my daughters and women everywhere who now know there are no limits to their
dreams. And more, she inspired millions of women and men with her strength, her
courage, and her unyielding commitment to the causes that brought us here today
– the hopes and aspirations of working Americans. Our party and our
country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and
I look forward to working with her in these coming months and years to lay out
the case for change and set a new course for this country.”
Excerpt
from Senator Hillary Clinton’s speech of June 7, 2008 In Washington, DC
announcing she was suspending her campaign and endorsing Barack Obama for
President:
“I entered this race because I have
an old-fashioned conviction: that public service is about helping people solve
their problems and live their dreams. I’ve had every opportunity and
blessing in my own life – and I want the same for all Americans. Until
that day comes, you will always find me on the front lines of democracy –
fighting for the future.
The way to continue our fight now –
to accomplish the goals for which we stand – is to take our energy, our
passion, our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next
President of the United States.
Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won
and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him, and throw my full support
behind him. And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama
as you have for me.”
