ANNOUNCER: This is already your country. Do not let anything or anybody takes the dream from you.

BARACK OBAMA: We are choosing hope over fear.

ANNOUNCER: You are not alone. We're millions. Ordinary people, cooks, construction workers, professionals, heads of houses, who together can believe with Barack Obama that we can indeed do extraordinary things.

To gain peace and to pass it on to our children, a cleaner and sure world, a more just and united America.

BARACK OBAMA: In this election, in this moment, let us reach for what we know is possible -- a nation healed, a world repaired, an America that believes again.
