grandchildren. the granite state moment we have we will always remember. i have my sons and daughterin-law. where are they they are behind us. it's great to have family here. tonight we celebrate and tomorrow we go back to work. [cheers and applause] we do remember when barack obama came to new hampshire four years ago he promised to bring people together. he promised to change the broken system in washington. he promised to improve our nation. those were the days of lofty promises made by a hopeful candidate. today we are faced with the disappointing record of a failed president. [cheers and applause] the last three years have held a lot of change but they haven't offered much hope. the middle class has been crushed. nearly 24 million of our fellow americans are still out of work, struggling to find work or have stopped looking. the median income in america has dropped 10% in the last four years.
