No, Really
I do NOT breath through this mouth and these knuckles do NOT drag!
...and it is my job to rally the base. I'm a base rallyer. You feel rallied, y'all? I want you rallied around my war rally.
First let me talk about the fact that this nation is at war. I wish I could report to you we were not at war, but we are. And the most important job of this government is to protect the United States from further attack. (Applause.)
My thinking about the world changed on September the 11th, 2001. After the enemy attacked us and killed nearly 3,000 innocent civilians, I vowed that for however long I was President, I would rally this nation and use our resources to protect you. And that's exactly what we have done. (Applause.)
(...)
My point to you is we got a solid record when it comes to protecting the United States of America, and we got a solid record when it comes to growing this economy. And in most elections, you can win elections based upon strong national defense and good economic policy. And that's precisely what we're going to bring to the voters in 2008. (Applause.)
Rally, bitches.
