The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away - not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream. What is that promise? Some suggest that it isn't worth the effort - that we are fated to disagree, and civilizations are doomed to clash.
There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America. I don't know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine. But what the people heard instead - people of every creed and color, from every walk of life - is that in America, our destiny is inextricably linked. All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time.
We will all have to make concessions to achieve this. It's that we all have it within our power to make this a better world. This time we want to talk about the men and women of every color and creed who serve together, and fight together, and bleed together under the same proud flag. That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Now let me be clear: issues of women's equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam.
That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. It's not consistent with our traditions of justice and fairness.
I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. There is one story in particularly that I'd like to leave you with today - a story I told when I had the great honor of speaking on Dr. He said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States, and I have ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed by early next year. Palestinians must abandon violence.
Thank you, and God bless America.
