Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: Iowa Caucus Night Des Moines, IA | January 03, 2008 Thank you, Iowa. You know, they said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided; too disillusioned to ever come together around a common purpose. But on this January night - at this defining moment in history - you have done what the cynics said we couldnt do. You have done what the state of New Hampshire can do in five days. You have done what America can do in this New Year, 2008. In lines that stretched around schools and churches; in small towns and big cities; you came together as Democrats, Republicans and Independents to stand up and say that we are one nation; we are one people; and our time for change has come. You said the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and pettiness and anger thats consumed Washington; to end the political strategy thats been all about division and instead make it about addition - to build a coalition for change that stretches through Red States and Blue States. Because thats how well win in November, and thats how well finally meet the challenges that we face as a nation. We are choosing hope over fear. Were choosing unity over division, and sending a powerful message that change is coming to America. You said the time has come to tell the lobbyists who think their money and their influence speak louder than our voices that they dont own this government, we do; and we are here to take it back. The time has come for a President who will be honest about the choices and the challenges we face; who will listen to you and learn from you even when we disagree; who wont just tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. And in New Hampshire, if you give me the same chance that Iowa did tonight, I will be that president for America. Thank you. Ill be a President who finally makes health care affordable and available to every single American the same way I expanded health ca
