The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
In this election, we offer that choice. Given my background, my politics, and my professed values and ideals, there will no doubt be those for whom my statements of condemnation are not enough. Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust.
It is on your lips and in your heart. That's the promise of America - the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper. As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. The people of the world can live together in peace.
It seems to me that each day, thousands of Americans are going about their lives - dropping the kids off at school, driving to work, shopping at the mall, trying to stay on their diets, trying to kick a cigarette habit - and they're coming to the realization that something is missing. And this restlessness - this search for meaning - is familiar to me. Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story - of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to. Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO bonuses; and the time to protect Social Security for future generations. Change happens because the American people demand it - because they rise up and insist on new ideas and new leadership, a new politics for a new time.
I understand you switched venues at considerable expense and inconvenience because of unfair labor practices at the place you were going to be having this synod. The skeptical bent of my mind didn't suddenly vanish. 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. They have killed people of different faiths - more than any other, they have killed Muslims. Those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere.
And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods - parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement - all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us. I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not.
Thank you very much everybody.
