The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
In this election, we offer that choice. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope? He does not say education or the war. If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from.
His values - and his record - affirm what is best in us. I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. He said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path.
My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. That's not what I'm talking about. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. We are the party of Roosevelt. When violent extremists operate in one stretch of mountains, people are endangered across an ocean.
In that time, I've had the chance to talk with Americans all across this country. Because we all have the capacity to do justice and show mercy; to treat others with dignity and respect; and to rise above what divides us and come together to meet those challenges we can't meet alone. Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented, often through violence, from owning property, or loans were not granted to African-American business owners, or black homeowners could not access FHA mortgages, or blacks were excluded from unions, or the police force, or fire departments - meant that black families could not amass any meaningful wealth to bequeath to future generations. Their actions are irreconcilable with the rights of human beings, the progress of nations, and with Islam. The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road Map are clear.
Palestinians must abandon violence. And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country - you, more than anyone, have the ability to remake this world. We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.
Thank you very much everybody.
