The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren't held hostage to the profits of oil companies, or the sabotage of foreign oil fields. And finally, just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter our principles.
I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, He would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in Him. I believe that as hard as it will be, the change we need is coming.
That's what compromise is about. And as someone who watched my mother argue with insurance companies while she lay in bed dying of cancer, I will make certain those companies stop discriminating against those who are sick and need care the most. You understand that in this election, the greatest risk we can take is to try the same old politics with the same old players and expect a different result. "And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. It is time for these settlements to stop.
While studying here, my father met my mother. We have real enemies in the world. They're ready to turn the page on the old politics and the old policies - whether it's the war in Iraq or the health care crisis we're in, or a school system that's leaving too many kids behind despite the slogans. The profound mistake of Reverend Wright's sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead.
And I'm glad to see that. It wasn't until after college, when I went to Chicago to work as a community organizer for a group of Christian churches, that I confronted my own spiritual dilemma. Those stories - of survival, and freedom, and hope - became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our tears; until this black church, on this bright day, seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world. But I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly the things we hold in our hearts, and that too often are said only behind closed doors. It was Islam - at places like Al-Azhar University - that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. The Palestinian Authority must develop its capacity to govern, with institutions that serve the needs of its people.
Thank you, and God bless America.
