The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. If there is a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child.

Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. Because that was the cheapest way to eat. With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. They could've heard words of anger and discord.
God bless you.
