The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn't have the money to go to college. And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. That's the change we need right now. But I will also renew the tough, direct diplomacy that can prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and curb Russian aggression.
And I'm glad to see that. But as Americans, we also know that this is a nation of laws, and we cannot have those laws broken when more than 2,000 people cross our borders illegally every day. But she didn't. And I've seen it in this campaign. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save.
She had this enormous capacity for wonder, and lived by the Golden Rule. This union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected. But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush ninety percent of the time. That is why I ordered the removal of our combat brigades by next August. I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal, but I do believe that a woman who is denied an education is denied equality.
The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we've never really worked through - a part of our union that we have yet to perfect. In fact, a similar anger exists within segments of the white community. Well it's time for them to own their failure.
The UCC is still listening. But for all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream, there were many who didn't make it - those who were ultimately defeated, in one way or another, by discrimination. Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. It's a racial stalemate we've been stuck in for years. That is why we will honor our agreement with Iraq's democratically-elected government to remove combat troops from Iraqi cities by July, and to remove all our troops from Iraq by 2012. Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential.
Thank you, and God bless America.
