The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
They all have different stories and reasons. "I'm here because of Ashley." By itself, that single moment of recognition between that young white girl and that old black man is not enough.
As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. America, we cannot turn back. We are shaped by every culture, drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept: E pluribus unum: "Out of many, one." And I believe that America holds within her the truth that regardless of race, religion, or station in life, all of us share common aspirations - to live in peace and security; to get an education and to work with dignity; to love our families, our communities, and our God. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy. But we have a responsibility to join together on behalf of the world we seek - a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have come home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected.
Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation - not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. I will build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century: terrorism and nuclear proliferation; poverty and genocide; climate change and disease. Words alone cannot meet the needs of our people.
This is a problem that's brought together churches and synagogues and mosques and people of all faiths as part of a grassroots movement. Because the Iraq war is not just a security problem, it's a moral problem. Like other black churches, Trinity's services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. At times, that anger is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines, or to make up for a politician's own failings. Those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere.
Let us be our sister's keeper. And any nation - including Iran - should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Thank you very much everybody.
