Obama: 'Wind' (video)

H/t to Ben Smith, with video (00:32) here.
Obama keeps the focus on Social Security, with only indirect shots at Clinton.

"I don’t want to just put my finger out to the wind and see what the polls say. I want to bring the country together to solve a problem," he says.

Script after the jump.
Script of “Wind”:

OBAMA: I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.

OBAMA: We’ve got 78 million baby boomers who are going to be retiring. There’s going to be more money going out than money coming in.

OBAMA: If we have failed to have a real, honest conversation about Social Security, it will not get fixed. This is a program that millions of people depend on.

The Obama Principles:

· Protect benefits

· No privatization of Social Security

· End Social Security tax exemption for the wealthy

OBAMA: I don’t want to just put my finger out to the wind and see what the polls say. I want to bring the country together to solve a problem. [Applause]
