The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
I learned that everyone's got a sacred story when you take the time to listen. Our conscience cannot rest so long as nearly 45 million Americans don't have health insurance and the millions more who do are going bankrupt trying to pay for it.
Our conscience can't rest so long as 37 million Americans are poor and forgotten by their leaders in Washington and by the media elites. Threatening Israel with destruction - or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews - is deeply wrong, and only serves to evoke in the minds of Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve.
The questions I had didn't magically disappear. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787. They had to file for bankruptcy, and that's when Ashley decided that she had to do something to help her mom. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't.
They're looking to relieve a chronic loneliness. This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people. These challenges are not all of government's making. The second major source of tension that we need to discuss is the situation between Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab world.
And fellow Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents - I say to you tonight: we have more work to do. And I'm glad to see that. We need to heed the biblical call to care for "the least of these" and lift the poor out of despair. It is on your lips and in your heart. America, now is not the time for small plans. But I stand before you tonight because all across America something is stirring.
Thank you.
