The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity. But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away - not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream. 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.
For we have a choice in this country. Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest - a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours - Hillary Rodham Clinton. The question, now, is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build.
If you're working forty hours a week, you shouldn't be living in poverty. But the truth is, that isn't all that I know of the man. In fact, it isn't even past." We do not need to recite here the history of racial injustice in this country. It means continuing to insist on a full measure of justice in every aspect of American life. The Bush-McCain foreign policy has squandered the legacy that generations of Americans - Democrats and Republicans - have built, and we are here to restore that legacy. But we have a responsibility to join together on behalf of the world we seek - a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have come home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected.
Ironically, this quintessentially American - and yes, conservative - notion of self-help found frequent expression in Reverend Wright's sermons. Now is the time to finally meet our moral obligation to provide every child a world-class education, because it will take nothing less to compete in the global economy. But I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly the things we hold in our hearts, and that too often are said only behind closed doors.
That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe. I've been speaking to a lot of churches recently, so it's nice to be speaking to one that's so familiar. That anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change. Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren't always expressed in polite company. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Because if you don't have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare the voters.
Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
