The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
She poured everything she had into me. I don't know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine. Part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience.
The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation. He was nominally a Muslim since there were a number of Muslims in the village where he was born. What has also been lost is our sense of common purpose - our sense of higher purpose. You make a big election about small things. Israel must also live up to its obligations to ensure that Palestinians can live, and work, and develop their society.
I believe we can provide jobs to the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair. They held vigils across this country when four little girls were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church. It's a promise I make to my daughters when I tuck them in at night, and a promise that you make to yours - a promise that has led immigrants to cross oceans and pioneers to travel west; a promise that led workers to picket lines, and women to reach for the ballot. It will be hard to overcome decades of mistrust, but we will proceed with courage, rectitude and resolve.
That's what compromise is about. Not just with words, but with deeds - by investing in our schools and our communities; by enforcing our civil rights laws and ensuring fairness in our criminal justice system; by providing this generation with ladders of opportunity that were unavailable for previous generations. Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away.

I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. And although she can no longer travel, I know that she's watching tonight, and that tonight is her night as well. Finally, the Arab States must recognize that the Arab Peace Initiative was an important beginning, but not the end of their responsibilities. On education, we will expand exchange programs, and increase scholarships, like the one that brought my father to America, while encouraging more Americans to study in Muslim communities.
Thank you.
