The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Back home, my grandmother raised their baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. She had this enormous capacity for wonder, and lived by the Golden Rule.
With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States. Now, I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans.
And as I listened to him explain why he'd enlisted, the absolute faith he had in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service, I thought this young man was all that any of us might hope for in a child. And yet, it has only been in the last couple of weeks that the discussion of race in this campaign has taken a particularly divisive turn.
For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga. Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented, often through violence, from owning property, or loans were not granted to African-American business owners, or black homeowners could not access FHA mortgages, or blacks were excluded from unions, or the police force, or fire departments - meant that black families could not amass any meaningful wealth to bequeath to future generations. At this moment, in this election, we must pledge once more to march into the future. Make no mistake: we do not want to keep our troops in Afghanistan. People in every country should be free to choose and live their faith based upon the persuasion of the mind, heart, and soul.
I've seen it in Illinois, when we provided health care to more children and moved more families from welfare to work. Indeed, we can recall the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said: "I hope that our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be." That is why I ordered the removal of our combat brigades by next August. Those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere. Some are eager to stoke the flames of division, and to stand in the way of progress.
Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
