obamas

Prepared remarks of Obama's 6,757-word speech made mention of one of the seminal accomplishments during his administration.

Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton sought to mend rifts within the party on Friday after their combative primary fight, heaping praise on each other as they campaigned together in a town chosen for the symbolism of its name -- Unity. Clinton, once considered the inevitable Democratic nominee, praised her former rival for ''his grace and his grit'' and said John McCain and the Republican Party had probably hoped the two Democrats would not join forces against them in the November election. A day after introducing Obama to some of her top financial backers, Clinton encouraged her supporters to join with his ''to create an unstoppable force for change we can all believe in,'' urging those who had backed her not to vote Republican.
