The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
That's why pastors, friends of mine like Rick Warren and T.D. Jakes and organizations like World Vision and Catholic Charities are wielding their enormous influence to confront poverty, HIV/AIDS, and the genocide in Darfur. I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family's premiums by up to $2500 a year. This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves - protect us from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys safe; invest in new schools and new roads and new science and technology. But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring.
But then I asked myself: Are we serving Shamus as well as he is serving us? We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." He does not say health care or the economy. I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95% of all working families. "And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." This has bred more fear and mistrust.
But my journey is part of a larger journey - one shared by all who've ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. That's not the judgment we need.
From Willow Creek to the 'emerging church,' from the Southern Baptist Convention to the National Association of Evangelicals, folks are realizing that the four walls of the church are too small for a big God.God is still speaking. So let's rededicate ourselves to a new kind of politics - a politics of conscience. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. But this much is clear: governments that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, successful and secure. On science and technology, we will launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas to the marketplace so they can create jobs.
The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. These needs will be met only if we act boldly in the years ahead; and if we understand that the challenges we face are shared, and our failure to meet them will hurt us all. And we will welcome all elected, peaceful governments - provided they govern with respect for all their people. The same is true for the astonishing progress within Muslim-majority countries from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai.
Thank you very much everybody.
