Barack Obama knows that to create an economy built to last we need to focus on middle-class families. Families who stay up on Sunday nights pacing the floor like my dad did while their children tucked in bed dream big dreams. Families who aren't sure what Monday morning will bring but who believe our nation's best days are still ahead.

You know my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now I understand why. If I do my job well I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

There is hope in dreams imagination and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.

Prime Minister Sharon Prime Minister Abbas I urge you today to end the designs of those who seek destruction annihilation and occupation and I urge you to have the will and the courage to begin to realize our dreams of peace prosperity and coexistence.

My mother taught me that we all have the power to achieve our dreams. What I lacked was the courage.

Hope lies in dreams in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.
