Former Maryland Governor Martin Omalley officially announced his candidacy for presidency on may 30. This is half an hour. Governor omalley my goodness. We have something to share with you. I want to talk with you today about the American Dream, about the dream we share. Its powerful history, its current condition, and its urgent need of rebuilding. Our nation was founded on two self evident truths, that all of us are created equal and that we are endowed by our creator with certain rights, to live, to to life, to liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And with these words, the American Dream began. No fine print, no expiration date. All of us are included. Women and men, black people and white people. Native americans irishamericans, asian americans, jewish, christian and muslim americans, young and old, rich and poor, workers and business owners, gay, lesbian, and transgendered, and straight americans. All of us are needed. [applause] gov. Omalley in our idea of country, there is no
In my view, what this is election is about is not just electing a president. Far, far more significantly, it is about transforming the United States of america. It is about understanding that there is something very, very wrong where the United States of america is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee paid family and medical leave. How does that happen . The only major country on earth that does not guarantee paid sick time or paid vacation time. How does that happen . The only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care for every man, woman, and child as a right. So, what this campaign is truly about is to bring people together by the tens of millions. And thats tough. That is tough stuff to do. But if we do that, were not just going to win this election. We are going to win it by a landslide. Because what happens is how many people in your communities believe that the republicans as the republicans do, that we should cut Social Security, cut medicare
Chief of staff for laura bush and for Michelle Obama and i wonder if you can tell us about the organization that a first lady needs and why she needs it and how you interact with the west wing because you both had titles not only of chief of staff to the first lady but assistant to the president , and so how did those titles Work Together . Would you like me to start susan . Sure. Well, theres no doubt that just looking at the Organization Chart which i know you have over a number of years its clearly grown. The east wing staff has clearly grown and i think that is a direct result of just how much more is expected of the role of the first lady and what she chooses to do with her platform, which is a privilege to represent the people of the United States both at home and around the world and there is this increased expectation and also with it the pressure to do something with this opportunity. So the staff grows to support the initiatives, and the initiatives are selected by a first la

Since the Citizens United case in 2012. I hear jeb bush saying he will raise 100 million in three months. There are the super pacs. He is not alone here, but this cannot continue. The only way we are going to be able to do anything about it is make sure our people by the numbers can outnumber the kind of money that is coming in here and that we get the policies that we believe into place. That is what we did when i ran for senate. We had 14,000 volunteers who came up to help us when we ran against and incumbent senator who just gotten the highest number of votes. We need to remember that the American Dream is a unique thing in this world. When people say you should not talk about american exceptionalism, excuse me. I think the American Dream is unique. That is why people are trying to come here from all over the world. I have lived the American Dream of open. I was able to give scholarships to go to school, was able to serve my country. I have had a great experience in my life, but i w
