The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
John Kerry believes in America. I wanted to be part of something larger. I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family's premiums by up to $2500 a year. On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland.
They know we can do better. But I'm hopeful because I think there's an awakening taking place in America. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America - to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality. Kennedy called our "intellectual and moral strength." Yes, government must lead on energy independence, but each of us must do our part to make our homes and businesses more efficient. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. I am emphasizing such investments within my country.
I stand here today, grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents' dreams live on in my two precious daughters. They're deciding that their work, their possessions, their diversions, their sheer busyness, is not enough. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. It is easy to point fingers - for Palestinians to point to the displacement brought by Israel's founding, and for Israelis to point to the constant hostility and attacks throughout its history from within its borders as well as beyond. Now, that must be our work here on Earth.
That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That won't keep America safe. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known.
And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away - not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream. I've gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world's poorest nations. The church contains in full the kindness and cruelty, the fierce intelligence and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and successes, the love and yes, the bitterness and bias that make up the black experience in America. And because she had to miss days of work, she was let go and lost her health care. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement.
Thank you, and God bless America.
