Obama Ipsum

And as I listened to him explain why he'd enlisted, the absolute faith he had in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service, I thought this young man was all that any of us might hope for in a child. And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth and carrying out His works. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years. You're on your own. That's not the judgment we need.

This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. Each nation gives life to this principle in its own way, grounded in the traditions of its own people.

Well it's time for them to own their failure. The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. The people of the world can live together in peace.

What we have already achieved gives us hope - the audacity to hope - for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. That does not lessen my commitment, however, to governments that reflect the will of the people.

My faith teaches me that I can sit in church and pray all I want, but I won't be fulfilling God's will unless I go out and do the Lord's work. But we also know our conscience cannot rest so long as the war goes on in Iraq.

Thank you.
