I like Barack Obama's line: "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America, there is the United States of America." - signed by an anon IP

Obama also said in a televised campaign speech on May 11, 2008 (if my memory is correct): "We are Americans: whether you are conservative/liberal, Northern/Southern/East coast/West coast, urban/rural/suburban, male/female, black/white/brown/yellow, young/old, rich/poor, Christian/Jewish/otherwise...we are Americans first". I doubt this is anything relevant to the Two Americas article, but he rejected Edwards' doom-and-gloom class division speech and Obama wants to change the rigid class structure pattern to kept out poor Americans for a long time. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 13:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origins

The two americas speech didnt originate at the 2004 DNC. I know for a fact that he had been using it on the campaign trail as early as june 2003, if not even earlier than that. I changed the article slightly to reflect that. Rbell73 (talk) 13:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Porque no te callas?

I don't really see how that is relevant to the 'Two Americas' idea, or why it is linked here. 74.64.99.122 (talk) 17:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
