The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded; so instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he offers them to companies creating jobs here at home. I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family's premiums by up to $2500 a year. We can tackle race only as spectacle - as we did in the OJ trial - or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Change comes to Washington. This history is well known.
And they want that choice. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription drugs, and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandparent. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years. And as someone who watched my mother argue with insurance companies while she lay in bed dying of cancer, I will make certain those companies stop discriminating against those who are sick and need care the most. Indeed, we can recall the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said: "I hope that our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be."
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. I understand you switched venues at considerable expense and inconvenience because of unfair labor practices at the place you were going to be having this synod. Their experience is the immigrant experience - as far as they're concerned, no one's handed them anything, they've built it from scratch. You don't defeat a terrorist network that operates in eighty countries by occupying Iraq. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country.
We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country. They have killed in many countries. And while America in the past has focused on oil and gas in this part of the world, we now seek a broader engagement.
On one end of the spectrum, we've heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it's based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I've seen it in this campaign. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. This truth transcends nations and peoples - a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew.
Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
