The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Let us be our sister's keeper. But the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in Washington and the failed policies of George W. Bush. 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. I get it. When violent extremists operate in one stretch of mountains, people are endangered across an ocean.
But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain. But if we see this conflict only from one side or the other, then we will be blind to the truth: the only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security.
This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our values and our commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up, to the legacy of our forbearers, and the promise of future generations. America, we are better than these last eight years. America, our work will not be easy. It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. That does not lessen my commitment, however, to governments that reflect the will of the people.
Because the Iraq war is not just a security problem, it's a moral problem. Why else would he define middle-class as someone making under five million dollars a year? How else could he propose hundreds of billions in tax breaks for big corporations and oil companies but not one penny of tax relief to more than one hundred million Americans? How else could he offer a health care plan that would actually tax people's benefits, or an education plan that would do nothing to help families pay for college, or a plan that would privatize Social Security and gamble your retirement? That's why we're partnering with a coalition of forty-six countries. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons.
Clearly, the past 50 years have not weakened your resolve as faithful witnesses of the gospel. Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self-defeating.
Thank you.
