Obama Ipsum

My father, who I didn't know, returned to Kenya when I was just two. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. It got hijacked.

If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription drugs, and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandparent. You see, we Democrats have a very different measure of what constitutes progress in this country. In that time, he's said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. Because one of the things that we have to change in our politics is the idea that people cannot disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism. America, this is one of those moments. It will be hard to overcome decades of mistrust, but we will proceed with courage, rectitude and resolve.

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. He is a man who served his country as a U.S. Marine; who has studied and lectured at some of the finest universities and seminaries in the country, and who for over thirty years led a church that serves the community by doing God's work here on Earth - by housing the homeless, ministering to the needy, providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries, and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama. They have killed in many countries.

He was nominally a Muslim since there were a number of Muslims in the village where he was born. Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest - a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours - Hillary Rodham Clinton. If you have health care, my plan will lower your premiums. I get it. The men and women who gathered there could've heard many things. There is so much fear, so much mistrust.

Because the Iraq war is not just a security problem, it's a moral problem. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama.

Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
