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. 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. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. 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.
Religious leaders like my friends Rev. Jim Wallis and Rabbi David Saperstein and Nathan Diament are working for justice and fighting for change. Our conscience cannot rest so long as nearly 45 million Americans don't have health insurance and the millions more who do are going bankrupt trying to pay for it. But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition.

Again and again, we've seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe. 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. If John McCain wants to follow George Bush with more tough talk and bad strategy, that is his choice - but it is not the change we need. What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me. There need not be contradiction between development and tradition.
Thank you very much everybody.
