The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
And I think they recognized a part of themselves in me too. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. On science and technology, we will launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas to the marketplace so they can create jobs.
This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work. I'll recruit an army of new teachers, and pay them higher salaries and give them more support. Our universities and our culture are the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores. I do so recognizing that change cannot happen overnight.
That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. It's a war I'm proud I opposed from the start - a war that should never have been authorized and never been waged. You can't truly stand up for Georgia when you've strained our oldest alliances. As the Holy Koran tells us, "Be conscious of God and speak always the truth." That is what I will try to do - to speak the truth as best I can, humbled by the task before us, and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart. The people of the world can live together in peace.
If you don't, you'll be able to get the same kind of coverage that members of Congress give themselves. We all put our country first. I believe that as hard as it will be, the change we need is coming.
It's not enough, but it's helping. And we cannot ignore the very real concerns of Americans who are not worried about illegal immigration because they are racist or xenophobic, but because they fear it will result in lower wages when they're already struggling to raise their families. America, we are better than these last eight years. Out of work? Tough luck. I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
