They're looking to relieve a chronic loneliness. I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. That is the world we seek.
The day after Pearl Harbor my grandfather signed up for duty; joined Patton's army, marched across Europe. And he knows that it's not enough for just some of us to prosper. That's not simply a matter of policy or ideology - it's a moral commitment. But we shouldn't use our humility as an excuse for inaction. It's been about you. And I've seen it in this campaign.
From his heroic service to Vietnam, to his years as a prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he has devoted himself to this country.

It was Islam - at places like Al-Azhar University - that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment.
God is still speaking. What's remarkable is not how many failed in the face of discrimination, but rather how many men and women overcame the odds; how many were able to make a way out of no way for those like me who would come after them. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and respect.

Thank you, and God bless America.
