"The most important thing we can do right now is to reengage the American people in the process of government, to get them excited and interested again."
"Don't tell me words don't matter."
As Senator Obama explained last night at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's Founder's Day Gala, words matter. He addressed the Clinton campaign's recent attacks on his strong message of hope with an even stronger message of hope. Words matter when you're trying to inspire a country that's been cursed for the past eight years with a president who couldn't string words together into a coherent sentence. We need a president who can inspire with words, and use words to bring together the American people to focus on the goals of this country. We need new policies, new jobs, new solutions to the problems we face as a nation. These things all start with words.
"I have a dream."Just words?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
Just words?
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
Just words?

Senator Kerry spent yesterday traveling to the Middle East, where he will visit Pakistan to observe the elections, and Afghanistan, India and Turkey to talk to leaders there about the problems that face us globally. He will use words, no doubt, to do that.
Just words.
