The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
They must be pursued - and they must be defeated. I'll invest in early childhood education. If your hopes have been dashed again and again, then it's best to stop hoping, and settle for what you already know. America, we cannot turn back. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear. Because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children.
I don't know what Bible they're reading, but it doesn't jibe with my version. Religious leaders like my friends Rev. Jim Wallis and Rabbi David Saperstein and Nathan Diament are working for justice and fighting for change. 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. We can play Reverend Wright's sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage; whether you can put a little extra money away at the end of each month so you can someday watch your child receive her college diploma.
And it is on their behalf that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as President of the United States. That commitment is at the core of the Treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it.
But I think they also sensed that a part of me remained removed and detached - that I was an observer in their midst. And slowly, I came to realize that something was missing as well - that without an anchor for my beliefs, without a commitment to a particular community of faith, at some level I would always remain apart, and alone. We can recognize the truth that's at the heart of the UCC: that the conversation is not over; that our roles are not defined; that through ancient texts and modern voices, God is still speaking, challenging us to change not just our own lives, but the world around us. But I will also renew the tough, direct diplomacy that can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and curb Russian aggression. Instead, it is that American spirit - that American promise - that pushes us forward even when the path is uncertain; that binds us together in spite of our differences; that makes us fix our eye not on what is seen, but what is unseen, that better place around the bend. They have killed in many countries.
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. And that man is John Kerry. And that's what we have to restore. And you know what - it's worked before.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
