That is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America.
One week earlier, Obama called for putting an end to negative campaigning. This can't be about who digs up more skeletons on who, who makes the fewest slip-ups on the campaign trail, he said. We owe it to the American people to do more than that.
Addressing National Unity:
The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them too.
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.
