The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
But it also comes from my own American story. 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. So I've got news for you, John McCain.
Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. And when one of his chief advisors - the man who wrote his economic plan - was talking about the anxiety Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a "mental recession," and that we've become, and I quote, "a nation of whiners." They have killed in many countries.
Our conscience can't rest so long as 37 million Americans are poor and forgotten by their leaders in Washington and by the media elites. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. We have the most powerful military on Earth, but that's not what makes us strong.
I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story. America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them.
He was nominally a Muslim since there were a number of Muslims in the village where he was born. And today, as my call for a time frame to remove our troops from Iraq has been echoed by the Iraqi government and even the Bush Administration, even after we learned that Iraq has a $79 billion surplus while we're wallowing in deficits, John McCain stands alone in his stubborn refusal to end a misguided war. We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.
Thank you, and God bless America.
