President Obama Lays Out Stark ‘Choice Between Two Different Paths’

http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/09/in-charlotte-obama-draws-the-line.php?ref=fpa

Barack Obama came to the last Democratic National Convention and told America it was time to say yes to a new vision for politics. The Obama who came to the convention Thursday night in Charlotte urged voters to say no — no to going backward, no to the notion that “hope” was naive and no to what he cast as an extreme Republican agenda.

Obama painted a picture of Republican Party eager to make sweeping changes he said would halt the progress of his administration. Again and again, he called on voters to stand with him to continue on the path he’s charted the past four years.

“When all is said and done — when you pick up that ballot to vote — you will face the clearest choice of any time in a generation,” Obama said. “Over the next few years, big decisions will be made in Washington, on jobs and the economy; taxes and deficits; energy and education; war and peace — decisions that will have a huge impact on our lives and our children’s lives for decades to come.”

The two sides of those decisions couldn’t be clearer, Obama said.
