Obama: America will 'reclaim its promise'
Obama, who is running for the U.S. Senate, said America would be able to "reclaim its promise" with Sen. John Edwards as vice president and Kerry as president.
"Instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he'll offer them to companies creating jobs here at home. John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health care coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves. John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren't held hostage to the profits of oil companies or the sabotage of foreign oil fields.
Obama, the son of a black immigrant father and a white mother from Kansas, is considered one of the party's rising stars.
He described himself as part of the "larger American story" that began when the Declaration of Independence stated that every man is created equal. (Women, minorities faithful to Democrats)
Obama also said Kerry would never send young men and women into harm's way "without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace and earn the respect of the world."
"We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated. John Kerry knows this," Obama said.
"Just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure." (Obama looks to own past in convention speech)
