10:07: We need to support our troops. Not just with bumper stickers. Last year, saw the largest increase in funding for veterans in decades. Next step reforming the VA
10:08: Takes his message of nuclear disarmament to congress. We'll see how far this message goes with this crowd.
10:09 Tough talk towards nations that pursue nuclear weapons. Calls out Iran and promises consequences unless they change their path.
10:10: America is a nation that provides leadership to other countries. We work with others. We will not be bystanders on important problems.
10:11: Who's the guy with the awful tie in this shot?
10:12: Pledges to stand with the people living in oppression and poverty. Also administration to help working to rebuild Haiti.
10:13: Civil rights: Prosecute those who commit hate crimes. Promises this year to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. Yes! Way to go, Obama. Let's see this happen.
10:15: American Values. Not republican or democratic. Not business or labor. American values. This is clearly a speech about positioning himself on the side of the American people and letting people know that he gets it. That he understands.
10:15: What bravery. He knows the perceptions that people have of him. He's willing to admit that he can't do everything. That change doesn't come easy. But this is not a time to easy things. This is a time to look to the future. To me it is refreshing and admirable to see a President who admits when he's wrong but won't give up and won't stop fighting the good fight.
10:17: Ties this moment back into history. To remind people of the sacrifices of the past. To remind Congress of the job the have.
10:19: We are strong. We are resilient. We are American.
1019: We have finished a difficult year. After a difficult decade. But this is a new decade and I WON"T QUIT.
