The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. And so in that spirit, let me speak as clearly and plainly as I can about some specific issues that I believe we must finally confront together.

And it's a testament to what we can achieve when good people with strong convictions stand up for their beliefs. This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people.

Now, as children of God, we believe in the worth and dignity of every human being; it doesn't matter where that person came from or what documents they have. We want to talk about how to bring them home from a war that never should've been authorized and never should've been waged, and we want to talk about how we'll show our patriotism by caring for them, and their families, and giving them the benefits they have earned. It is where our union grows stronger. I don't know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine.
