With all of our continuing hard work, Barack will essentially wrap up the primary campaign next week and begin the general election phase of this historic race. In this joyous moment, our first task is to reach out to Clinton supporters to show them that the dream held by the vast majority of them -- a fairer, healthier, safer, stronger, more just and sensible America -- is our dream. We must all now move immediately to unite behind the inspiring and once-in-a-lifetime candidate and movement that will help make this dream come true for all.
Just as President Obama will be reaching out to speak with our enemies abroad, we can now reach out to work with our friends at home to lead this movement forward. For the sake of our dreams and our children, we need each other in order to get the job done.
The traditional saying goes, "To the victor go the spoils." But this very un-traditional victory is different. As Barack first challenged us to see at the convention four years ago, this can be a victory for all of us. As John Edwards said, we can be one America.
I have had tough criticism of the Clintons throughout the primary season. But that is now over and done. So to the entire Clinton family, I now say thank you for your determination and leadership. To Hillary, thank you for standing up yesterday against the Bush attack on Barack as the equivalent of a Nazi appeaser. I know you are going to let these last few days of the primaries wind down, but I believe that you now see that the time has come to unite against the insanity.
And to Barack and the entire extended Obama family of so many millions across our land, and on behalf of my son who turns three next week, I thank you for giving our country and world a chance at making a very different kind of future for our children.
Yes we can!
