The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Nor is it beyond the sea. Let us be our sister's keeper. We are a better country than this. And while America in the past has focused on oil and gas in this part of the world, we now seek a broader engagement.
And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, "Not this time." This time we want to talk about the crumbling schools that are stealing the future of black children and white children and Asian children and Hispanic children and Native American children. They had to file for bankruptcy, and that's when Ashley decided that she had to do something to help her mom. Now is the time to help families with paid sick days and better family leave, because nobody in America should have to choose between keeping their jobs and caring for a sick child or ailing parent. And you know what - it's worked before.
But we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East. Some suggest that it isn't worth the effort - that we are fated to disagree, and civilizations are doomed to clash.
In that time, I've had the chance to talk with Americans all across this country. And so long as we're not doing everything in our personal and collective power to solve them, we know the conscience of our nation cannot rest. Change comes to Washington. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We also know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We will help Iraq train its Security Forces and develop its economy.
And they, too, had big dreams for their daughter. 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. God is still speaking. As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. Now is the time to finally keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American. It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the heart of billions.
Thank you, and God bless America.
