This kind of gaping inequality gives lie to the promise that’s at the very heart of america: that this is a place where you can make it if you try. we tell people - we tell our kids - that in this country, even if you’re born with nothing, work hard and you can get into the middle class. we tell them that your children will have a chance to do even better than you do. that’s why immigrants from around the world historically have flocked to our shores.

More From Barack Obama

They talk about class warfare -- the fact of the matter is there has been class warfare for the last thirty years. it's a handful of billionaires taking on the entire middle-class and working-class of this country. and the result is you now have in america the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth and the worst inequality in america since 1928. how could anybody defend the top 400 richest people in this country owning more wealth than the bottom half of america, 150 million people?

There should be a class on drugs. there should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and 'un-logical' terms and things like that.....there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in america, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let's learn volleyball.

Politicians will promise some pretty ridiculous things. they will promise a chicken in every pot. they'll promise that they'll keep social security solvent. they'll promise drugs for old people. they'll promise lots of stuff. but it doesn't come near the kind of promises that religion makes. the mormons promise that if you're good while you're on earth, you get to rule over your own planet in the afterlife. now, there's an entitlement that goes a little bit beyond prescription drugs for old people.
Afterlife People Drug
For all the noise and anger that too often surrounds the immigration debate, america has nothing to fear from today's immigrants. they have come here for the same reason that families have always come here-for the hope that in america, they could build a better life for themselves and their families. like the waves of immigrants that came before them and the hispanic americans whose families have been here for generations, the recent arrival of latino immigrants will only enrich our country.

This is a nation of immigrants. we welcome people coming to this country as immigrants. my dad was born in mexico of american parents; ann's dad was born in wales and is a first-generation american. we welcome legal immigrants into this country.

The russians can't change us or significantly weaken us. they are a smaller country. they are a weaker country. their economy doesn't produce anything that anybody wants to buy, except oil and gas and arms. they don't innovate. but they can impact us if we lose track of who we are.
