Listen, when George Bush steps down, the entire world is going to breathe a sigh of relief.

(APPLAUSE)

And we will have an opportunity to go before the world, to stand before them and say, we are back; that we want to work with you, that we want to work to deal with the transnational threats of climate change and nuclear proliferation.

We want to work with you to deal with global poverty. We want to end the genocide in Darfur.

(APPLAUSE)

We want to bring an end to malaria and HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.

And while we're at it, we want to close Guantanamo and we want to restore habeas corpus...

(APPLAUSE)

... because that's who we are. We want to lead not just with our military but with our values and with our ideals.
