The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
It's a journey that takes us back to our nation's founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees. So doing the Lord's work is a thread that's run through our politics since the very beginning. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess. They have killed in many countries. That is why we welcome efforts like Saudi Arabian King Abdullah's Interfaith dialogue and Turkey's leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations.
And he knows that it's not enough for just some of us to prosper. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home every night. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight. Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it. I know there are those who dismiss such beliefs as happy talk.
The challenges we face require tough choices, and Democrats as well as Republicans will need to cast off the worn-out ideas and politics of the past. I have made it clear to the Iraqi people that we pursue no bases, and no claim on their territory or resources.
When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world. But I'm hopeful because I think there's an awakening taking place in America. That anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change.
Our conscience cannot rest so long as nearly 45 million Americans don't have health insurance and the millions more who do are going bankrupt trying to pay for it. Because we all have the capacity to do justice and show mercy; to treat others with dignity and respect; and to rise above what divides us and come together to meet those challenges we can't meet alone.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
