Obama Ipsum

The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.

How many paragraphs of oratory do you need?

He told me he'd joined the Marines, and was heading to Iraq the following week. And it's around this time that some pastors I was working with came up to me and asked if I was a member of a church. And when these battles were overtaken by others and when the wars they opposed were waged and won, these faithful foot soldiers for justice kept marching. The President vetoed a similar plan, but he doesn't have the last word, and we're going to keep at it, until we bring this war to an end.

He told me he'd joined the Marines, and was heading to Iraq the following week. God is still speaking. Let's come together - Protestant and Catholic, Muslim and Hindu and Jew, believer and non-believer alike. They claim that our insistence on something larger, something firmer and more honest in our public life is just a Trojan Horse for higher taxes and the abandonment of traditional values. Finally, I want to discuss economic development and opportunity. The same is true for the astonishing progress within Muslim-majority countries from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai.

The people I meet - in small towns and big cities, in diners and office parks - they don't expect government to solve all their problems. They know they have to work hard to get ahead - and they want to. 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. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. So let me be clear: no system of government can or should be imposed upon one nation by any other.

They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. That commitment is at the core of the Treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it. There is so much fear, so much mistrust.

I learned that my sins could be redeemed. It got hijacked. In the face of that young student who sleeps just three hours before working the night shift, I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree; who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships. America, now is not the time for small plans. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Now is the time for Palestinians to focus on what they can build.

Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
