Obama Ipsum

My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. It's not enough, but it's helping. It's a story that hasn't made me the most conventional candidate. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely - just as I'm sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed. The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores - that includes nearly seven million American Muslims in our country today who enjoy incomes and education that are higher than average.

I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity. Our conscience can't rest so long as 37 million Americans are poor and forgotten by their leaders in Washington and by the media elites. Unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America.

This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. But privately, many Muslims recognize that Israel will not go away.

Now let there be no doubt. And we will keep our promise to every young American - if you commit to serving your community or your country, we will make sure you can afford a college education. But this much is clear: governments that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, successful and secure.

Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. Hall in East Moline, Ill.. That's why I stand here tonight. Out of work? Tough luck. You can't truly stand up for Georgia when you've strained our oldest alliances. And fault lines must be closed among Muslims as well, as the divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to tragic violence, particularly in Iraq.

Thank you, and God bless America.
