dreamed dreams
My mother dreamed dreams for Joaquin and for me long before we could dream them for ourselves.
dream school opportunity
I couldn't help but to think back to my classmates at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio. They had the same talent, the same brains, the same dreams as the folks we sat with at Stanford and Harvard. I realized the difference wasn't one of intelligence or drive. The difference was opportunity.
dream marathon finish-line
The American dream is not a sprint or even a marathon but a relay.
dream generations lines
In the end, the American dream is not a sprint, or even a marathon, but a relay. Our families don't always cross the finish line in the span of one generation. But each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor.
daughter mother dream
The American dream is not a sprint, or even a marathon, but a relay. Our families don't always cross the finish line in the span of one generation. But each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor. My grandmother never owned a house. She cleaned other people's houses so she could afford to rent her own. But she saw her daughter become the first in her family to graduate from college. And my mother fought hard for civil rights so that instead of a mop, I could hold this microphone.

democrats expand health obama presidents seven tried
Seven presidents before him - Democrats and Republicans - tried to expand health care to all Americans. President Obama got it done.
connect far fictions heard last nation people troubling
Of all the fictions we heard last week in Tampa, the one I find most troubling is this: If we all just go our own way, our nation will be stronger for it. Because if we sever the threads that connect us, the only people who will go far are those who are already ahead.
colts used quarterback
I wanted to be a quarterback. I used to like Johnny Unitas, the old quarterback for the Colts.
opportunity today tomorrow
Opportunity today, prosperity tomorrow.

Mitt Romney has undergone an extreme makeover, and it ain’t pretty.
