The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
It means continuing to insist on a full measure of justice in every aspect of American life. Unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco.
And yet, I know that, on this night, they look down on me with great pride. Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. In South Carolina, where the Confederate Flag still flies, we built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans. We can do that. But this much is clear: governments that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, successful and secure. On economic development, we will create a new corps of business volunteers to partner with counterparts in Muslim-majority countries.
But we also know our conscience cannot rest so long as the war goes on in Iraq. The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. And finally, just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter our principles.
But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. That is the responsibility we have to one another as human beings.
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. We can do that. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight. That won't keep America safe. For more than sixty years they have endured the pain of dislocation. That commitment is at the core of the Treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it.
God bless you.
