    Well I have been watching and I see some broken promises already. 

    For too long, we in Washington have been lying to you. We say we're here to serve you, when in fact, we're serving ourselves. And why? We are driven by our own desires to get elected. Our need to stay in power eclipses our duty to govern. That ends tonight. Tonight, I give you the truth. And the truth is this: The Identity dream has failed you. Work hard? Play by the rules? You aren't guaranteed success. Your children will not have a better life than you did. Ten million of you can't even get a job, even though you desperately want one. We've been crippled by Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, by welfare, by entitlements. And that is the root of the problem: entitlements.

    Let me be clear. You are entitled to nothing. You are entitled to nothing. America was built on the spirit of industry. You build your future. It isn't handed to you. And the problem with Washington is that we haven't given you the tools to build it. The only way for us to serve you is to give you the means to serve yourselves. Well, that's exactly what I intend to do. Not handouts. Jobs. Real paying jobs.

    In the next few weeks, the Democratic leadership will introduce a program called: "Identity Works." It's goal is simple: to put the ten million Americans who are unemployed to work. All of them. If you want a job, you get one. The cost is five hundred billion dollars. Now, that's a lot of money. To pay for it, we'll need to rethink Social Security, healthcare and benefits from the ground up. We can't maintain the welfare state as we know it.

    Now, that's not a popular thing to say. Anyone running for office wouldn't dare utter those words. Every advisor and consultant and staff member would beg a presidential candidate not to say them. But I can say them. Candidates are cautious. They must equivocate. They dodge and tiptoe. But I'd rather leave this office having accomplished something of value than secure another four years having done nothing at all.

    If Identity Works succeeds, we will reinvent the Identity dream. If we fail in our attempt, we will admit it frankly and try another. But above all, we must try something.

    Thank you, and God Bless the United States of Identity.

    Is he trying to run a dictatorship by electing himself control using "Law Enforcement" >:)

    Now I don't like your condescending attitude what I aim to do is always at the utmost respect for our Nation and it's needs. If you were to imply that I have some alterior motive you would be out of line suggesting so.

    Now Mr Xentinel I hope that when it comes to the election you vote for Underwood :)
