The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. Today, America has a dual responsibility: to help Iraq forge a better future - and to leave Iraq to Iraqis. That is why I intend to personally pursue this outcome with all the patience that the task requires. It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding.
In the end, then, what is called for is nothing more, and nothing less, than what all the world's great religions demand - that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we'll be talking about some other distraction. Countries like Japan and South Korea grew their economies while maintaining distinct cultures.
Because whether it's poverty or racism, the uninsured or the unemployed, war or peace, the challenges we face today are not simply technical problems in search of the perfect ten-point plan. That's what compromise is about. There is real evil and hardship and pain and suffering in the world and we should be humble in our belief that we can eliminate them. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. This issue has been a source of tension between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
And when the Civil War was fought and our country dedicated itself to a new birth of freedom, they took on the problems of an industrializing nation - fighting the crimes against society and the sins against God that they felt were being committed in our factories and in our slums. God is still speaking. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look like the last eight.
Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. She had been working to organize a mostly African-American community since the beginning of this campaign, and one day she was at a roundtable discussion where everyone went around telling their story and why they were there. I will rebuild our military to meet future conflicts.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
