We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it's time to turn the page. ↗

Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace. ↗

See, that's why Barack's running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly - to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American - and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college. ↗

Our educational system is like an automobile which has strong rear lights, brightly illuminating the past. But looking forward things are barely discernible. ↗
