Via Talking Points Memo. At an campaign event yesterday on the first day of early voting in Tampa, Florida, Barack Obama responded to Sarah Palin’s claim that some parts of our country are “what I call the real America,” and others are not “pro-America.”

Here’s an excerpt from his speech:

There are no real or fake parts of this country. We are not separated by the pro-America and anti-America parts of this nation - we all love this country, no matter where we live or where we come from. There are patriots who supported this war in Iraq and patriots who opposed it; patriots who believe in Democratic policies and those who believe in Republican policies. The men and women from Florida and all across America who serve on our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America - they have served the United States of America.

Our next President.
