Obama Ipsum

The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.

How many paragraphs of oratory do you need?

John Kerry understands the ideals of community, faith, and service because they've defined his life. I don't fit the typical pedigree, and I haven't spent my career in the halls of Washington.

On one end of the spectrum, we've heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it's based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap. And then another one. Hamas does have support among some Palestinians, but they also have responsibilities. But privately, many Muslims recognize that Israel will not go away.

God bless you.
