22,000 Turn Out for Obama at Penn State

"You have to participate, you've got to be involved. The cynics will say you can't...As this primary has gone on, there have been people who have been voicing some frustration. But this race has engaged and involved people like never before. That means that people are invested and engaged in this process...I know how easy it is to divide Americans and to find scapegoats. To focus on people who are different than you to distract from our problems. But nothing worthwhile has ever happened except when somebody, somewhere has been willing to hope. That's how young people like you traveled down south in the 60s and marched. That's what hope is -- imagining, then fighting for what did not seem possible."
