The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
They're telling me that their conversation about what it means to be Catholic continues. You don't protect Israel and deter Iran just by talking tough in Washington.
They're ready to turn the page on the old politics and the old policies - whether it's the war in Iraq or the health care crisis we're in, or a school system that's leaving too many kids behind despite the slogans. I learned that everyone's got a sacred story when you take the time to listen. Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity. Because for two hundred and thirty two years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors - found the courage to keep it alive. I've seen it in Illinois, when we provided health care to more children and moved more families from welfare to work.
It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. And it's a testament to what we can achieve when good people with strong convictions stand up for their beliefs. These are my heroes. If your hopes have been dashed again and again, then it's best to stop hoping, and settle for what you already know. And we will do so in partnership with Muslim communities which are also threatened. Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has played a role in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S.
They are moral problems, rooted in both societal indifference and individual callousness - in the imperfections of man. This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. The Holy Koran tells us, "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."
And I think they recognized a part of themselves in me too. It's a war I'm proud I opposed from the start - a war that should never have been authorized and never been waged. In South Carolina, where the Confederate Flag still flies, we built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans. Many bring up a specific issue. We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11.
God bless you.
