Obama Ipsum

The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.

How many paragraphs of oratory do you need?

It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own.

After the war, they studied on the G.I. That we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm. We have real enemies in the world. Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented, often through violence, from owning property, or loans were not granted to African-American business owners, or black homeowners could not access FHA mortgages, or blacks were excluded from unions, or the police force, or fire departments - meant that black families could not amass any meaningful wealth to bequeath to future generations.

I have a plan that would have already begun redeploying our troops with the goal of bringing all our combat brigades home by March 31st of next year. Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many.

That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people.

They saw that I knew the Scriptures and that many of the values I held and that propelled me in my work were values they shared. They are anxious about their futures, and feel their dreams slipping away; in an era of stagnant wages and global competition, opportunity comes to be seen as a zero sum game, in which your dreams come at my expense. We are more compassionate than a government that lets veterans sleep on our streets and families slide into poverty; that sits on its hands while a major American city drowns before our eyes. They could've been told to succumb to the fear and frustration of so many dreams deferred. Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims. Palestinians must abandon violence.

Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
