The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
People are coming together around a simple truth - that we are all connected, that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper. That's why I stand here tonight.
Now don't get me wrong. No, the word is very near. It's because John McCain doesn't get it. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save.
And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods - parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement - all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict.
And it is on their behalf that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as President of the United States. America, we cannot turn back. Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential.
In this election, we offer that choice. But my journey is part of a larger journey - one shared by all who've ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. It's not because John McCain doesn't care. That is why I am committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat.
God bless you.
