Obama Ipsum

She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. He was a good-looking kid, six two, six three, clear eyed, with an easy smile. Finally, the Arab States must recognize that the Arab Peace Initiative was an important beginning, but not the end of their responsibilities.

And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. They have killed people of different faiths - more than any other, they have killed Muslims.

I wanted to be part of something larger. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is - you're on your own. Trade can bring new wealth and opportunities, but also huge disruptions and changing communities.

You know, a while back, I met a young man named Shamus [Seamus?] in a V.F.W. Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. The profound mistake of Reverend Wright's sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society.

And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. We meet at one of those defining moments - a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is in turmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. And yet Al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale.

Thank you.
