Obama Ipsum

And that it's not enough to just believe this - we have to do our part to make it a reality. As Commander-in-Chief, I will never hesitate to defend this nation, but I will only send our troops into harm's way with a clear mission and a sacred commitment to give them the equipment they need in battle and the care and benefits they deserve when they come home. Part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience.

Our Party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has to offer. No, the word is very near. America will align our policies with those who pursue peace, and say in public what we say in private to Israelis and Palestinians and Arabs. That commitment is at the core of the Treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it.

Most working- and middle-class white Americans don't feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race. "I'm here because of Ashley." By itself, that single moment of recognition between that young white girl and that old black man is not enough.

The hope of a millworker's son who dares to defy the odds. He simply says to everyone in the room, "I am here because of Ashley." It's a promise that says each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives what we will, but that we also have the obligation to treat each other with dignity and respect. That together, our dreams can be one. That does not lessen my commitment, however, to governments that reflect the will of the people.

That has been my experience at Trinity. That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
