The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright's sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. It requires all Americans to realize that your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare, and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper. The challenges we face require tough choices, and Democrats as well as Republicans will need to cast off the worn-out ideas and politics of the past. And I am hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal. I saw it firsthand as a child in Indonesia, where devout Christians worshiped freely in an overwhelmingly Muslim country.

The challenges we face require tough choices, and Democrats as well as Republicans will need to cast off the worn-out ideas and politics of the past. Not with so many families to protect and so many lives to mend. And I am hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal. And while America in the past has focused on oil and gas in this part of the world, we now seek a broader engagement.
E pluribus unum. That's not the judgment we need. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy.
But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away - not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream. That's why organizations are rising up across the country to reclaim the language of faith to bring about change. And that's what we have to restore. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own. Trade can bring new wealth and opportunities, but also huge disruptions and changing communities.
Thank you, and God bless America.
