The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
But I also get the sense that there's a hunger that's deeper than that - a hunger that goes beyond any single cause or issue. But for all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream, there were many who didn't make it - those who were ultimately defeated, in one way or another, by discrimination. And today, as my call for a time frame to remove our troops from Iraq has been echoed by the Iraqi government and even the Bush Administration, even after we learned that Iraq has a $79 billion surplus while we're wallowing in deficits, John McCain stands alone in his stubborn refusal to end a misguided war. And despite the costs involved, America's commitment will not weaken. On science and technology, we will launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas to the marketplace so they can create jobs.
She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me. Finally, the Arab States must recognize that the Arab Peace Initiative was an important beginning, but not the end of their responsibilities. But this much is clear: governments that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, successful and secure.
John Kerry believes in the Constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties, nor use faith as a wedge to divide us. That's the change we need right now.
Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, black and white, I have never been so naive as to believe that we can get beyond our racial divisions in a single election cycle, or with a single candidacy - particularly a candidacy as imperfect as my own. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors - found the courage to keep it alive. You see, we Democrats have a very different measure of what constitutes progress in this country. And today, we import triple the amount of oil as the day that Senator McCain took office. That is the spirit we need today.
He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. This time we want to reject the cynicism that tells us that these kids can't learn; that those kids who don't look like us are somebody else's problem. But this much is clear: governments that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, successful and secure. We must always examine the ways in which we protect it.
Thank you.
