Wright deliver a sermon called "The Audacity of Hope." And during the course of that sermon, he introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ. But we also know that government initiatives are not enough. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. As Commander-in-Chief, I will never hesitate to defend this nation, but I will only send our troops into harm's way with a clear mission and a sacred commitment to give them the equipment they need in battle and the care and benefits they deserve when they come home. The richness of religious diversity must be upheld - whether it is for Maronites in Lebanon or the Copts in Egypt.

Because I've seen it. Let us keep that promise - that American promise - and in the words of Scripture hold firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess. Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has played a role in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons.
Thank you, and God bless America.
