The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
In the following century, men and women of faith waded into the battles over prison reform and temperance, public education and women's rights - and above all, abolition. And finally they come to this elderly black man who's been sitting there quietly the entire time. In the young people who voted for the first time, and in those who got involved again after a very long time.
And yet, I know that, on this night, they look down on me with great pride. And nothing will change. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire.
And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option. And this restlessness - this search for meaning - is familiar to me. At various stages in the campaign, some commentators have deemed me either "too black" or "not black enough." We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the South Carolina primary. Well it's time for them to own their failure.
As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. So let there be no doubt: the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable.
That we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. And this restlessness - this search for meaning - is familiar to me. It is where our union grows stronger. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work. So America will defend itself respectful of the sovereignty of nations and the rule of law.
Thank you.
