The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams and yet still come together as one American family. And until we do, our conscience cannot rest. And next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11.
Clearly, the past 50 years have not weakened your resolve as faithful witnesses of the gospel. I learned that my sins could be redeemed. And right here in the UCC, we're hearing from God about what it means to be a welcoming church that holds on to our Christian witness. It means continuing to insist on a full measure of justice in every aspect of American life.
I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home every night.

This country is more generous than one where a man in Indiana has to pack up the equipment he's worked on for twenty years and watch it shipped off to China, and then chokes up as he explains how he felt like a failure when he went home to tell his family the news. I've seen it in Illinois, when we provided health care to more children and moved more families from welfare to work. Among some Muslims, there is a disturbing tendency to measure one's own faith by the rejection of another's. Many Gulf States have enjoyed great wealth as a consequence of oil, and some are beginning to focus it on broader development.
The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our union that we have yet to perfect. If John McCain wants to follow George Bush with more tough talk and bad strategy, that is his choice - but it is not the change we need. The same is true for the astonishing progress within Muslim-majority countries from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai. And we will also expand partnerships with Muslim communities to promote child and maternal health.
Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
