The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that, in no other country on earth, is my story even possible. Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. I've gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world's poorest nations. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear. America will align our policies with those who pursue peace, and say in public what we say in private to Israelis and Palestinians and Arabs. We cannot impose peace.
I suppose the politically safe thing would be to move on from this episode and just hope that it fades into the woodwork. I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain. And I've seen it in this campaign. But my personal story is not so unique. The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road Map are clear.
John Kerry knows this. But I also get the sense that there's a hunger that's deeper than that - a hunger that goes beyond any single cause or issue. God is still speaking.
People are coming together around a simple truth - that we are all connected, that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper. She's the one who taught me about hard work.
There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America - there's the United States of America. And as a consequence, so did I. And that's what we have to restore. I realize that I am not the likeliest candidate for this office. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.
God bless you.
