The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
The questions I had didn't magically disappear. And it means taking full responsibility for own lives - by demanding more from our fathers, and spending more time with our children, and reading to them, and teaching them that while they may face challenges and discrimination in their own lives, they must never succumb to despair or cynicism; they must always believe that they can write their own destiny. The situation in Afghanistan demonstrates America's goals, and our need to work together.
E pluribus unum. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America. That's not simply a matter of policy or ideology - it's a moral commitment. We're not going to agree on everything, but we can disagree without being disagreeable. Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren't always expressed in polite company. That does not mean we should ignore sources of tension.
This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our values and our commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up, to the legacy of our forbearers, and the promise of future generations. With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. This too is part of America's promise - the promise of a democracy where we can find the strength and grace to bridge divides and unite in common effort.
At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. There is no straight line to realize this promise.
Out of many, one. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. I have a plan that would have already begun redeploying our troops with the goal of bringing all our combat brigades home by March 31st of next year.
Thank you very much everybody.
