The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Now Ashley might have made a different choice. America, we cannot turn back.
It's a promise that says the market should reward drive and innovation and generate growth, but that businesses should live up to their responsibilities to create American jobs, look out for American workers, and play by the rules of the road. And we will keep our promise to every young American - if you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford a college education. America, our work will not be easy.
We can dismiss Reverend Wright as a crank or a demagogue, just as some have dismissed Geraldine Ferraro, in the aftermath of her recent statements, as harboring some deep-seated racial bias. And now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day's work, because I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons. And today, as my call for a time frame to remove our troops from Iraq has been echoed by the Iraqi government and even the Bush Administration, even after we learned that Iraq has a $79 billion surplus while we're wallowing in deficits, John McCain stands alone in his stubborn refusal to end a misguided war. This cycle of suspicion and discord must end. But it was not violence that won full and equal rights. Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.
Now, as children of God, we believe in the worth and dignity of every human being; it doesn't matter where that person came from or what documents they have. Many bring up a specific issue. And we will welcome all elected, peaceful governments - provided they govern with respect for all their people.
And so they need an assurance that somebody out there cares about them, is listening to them - that they are not just destined to travel down that long road toward nothingness. This is the reality in which Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up. To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it; to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service; and to the next Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy. Fear that because of modernity we will lose of control over our economic choices, our politics, and most importantly our identities - those things we most cherish about our communities, our families, our traditions, and our faith.
God bless you.
