i thought about a famous speech that theodore roosevelt developed -- delivered 100 years ago. he said it is not the critic who counts, not the man you point out how the strong man stumbles or the door of the could have done them better. the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by a sweat and blood, who strives valiantly without error or shortcoming but actually tries to do the dieeds, who spins himself in a worthy cause, and you at the worst if he fails at these fails while daring greatly so that his place john never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. it might seem a little anti or embroidered. i believe the eloquent still has power. roosevelt was telling his audience then and reminding us today that our democracy works because people like michael bennet and andrew romanoff are willing to get into the arena. most important -- [applause] been so many of you who will never run for office are also willing to give up your time and energy and get in the arena. as rough as politics can be and there is plenty
