The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. No, the word is very near. More of you have lost your homes and even more are watching your home values plummet. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own.
That we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world.

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. I know there are those who dismiss such beliefs as happy talk. But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring.

For many years, Iran has defined itself in part by its opposition to my country, and there is indeed a tumultuous history between us.
God bless you.
