"Ten days ago, president admitted that although some people in this country seem to be doing well nowadays. |
| [01:38.73] |
Others were unhappy, even worriedbout themselves, for their families and for their futures. |
| [01:50.18] |
President said that he didn't understand that fear. |
| [01:55.85] |
He said:"Why this country is a shining city on a hill!" |
| [02:02.00] |
And the president is right. |
| [02:07.34] |
In many ways we are a shining city on a hill. |
| [02:14.62] |
The hard truth is that not everyone is sharing the new city's splendour and glory. |
| [02:23.42] |
Shining city is perhaps all the president sees from the portica of the White House, of the verandah of his ranch, where everyone seems to be doing well. |
| [02:36.26] |
But there's another city. There's another part to the shining city. |
| [02:44.35] |
A part where some people can't pay their mortages, and most young people can't afford ... |
| [02:52.00] |
Where students can't afford the education they need and middle-class parents watch the dreams they hold for their children vaporate. |
| [03:04.00] |
In this part of the city there are more poor than ever. |
| [03:09.12] |
More families in trouble, more and more people who need help but can't find it. |
| [03:17.20] |
Even worse, there are elderly people who tremble in the basements of the houses they live. |
| [03:27.14] |
And there are people who sleep in the city streets, in the gutter where the glitter doesn't show. |
| [03:38.52] |
There are ghettos with thousands of young people without a job or an education. |
| [03:45.56] |
Give their lives away to drug dealers every day. |
| [03:55.02] |
There is despair. |
| [04:01.70] |
There is despair, Mr President. |
| [04:06.18] |
In the faces that you don't see. |
| [04:12.00] |
In the places that you don't visit in your shining city. |
| [04:21.98] |
Mr. President you ought to know that this nation is more a "Tale of Two Cities" than it is just a "Shining City on a Hill." |
| [04:45.33] |
Maybe, maybe Mr President if you visited some more places, if you went to Appalachia where some people still live in sheds. |
| [04:57.08] |
Maybe if you went to Lackawanna where thousands of unemployed steel-workers wonder why we subsidize foreign steel. |
| [05:17.00] |
Maybe, maybe Mr President if you stopped in at a shelter in Chicago and spoke to the homeless there. |
| [05:32.60] |
Maybe, Mr President if you asked a woman who had been denied the help she needed to feed her children |
| [05:42.24] |
Because you said you needed the money for a tax-break for a millionaire or for a missile we couldn't afford to use." |
