The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
Let me be clear. And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods - parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement - all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us. They've worked hard all their lives, many times only to see their jobs shipped overseas or their pension dumped after a lifetime of labor. We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. For peace to come, it is time for them - and all of us - to live up to our responsibilities. The Holy Koran tells us, "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."
John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded; so instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he offers them to companies creating jobs here at home. As William Faulkner once wrote, "The past isn't dead and buried. We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage; whether you can put a little extra money away at the end of each month so you can someday watch your child receive her college diploma. I will end this war in Iraq responsibly, and finish the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. These are the policies I will pursue. But let us be clear: al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day.
My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. And he knows that it's not enough for just some of us to prosper. That is why the U.S. That does not mean we should ignore sources of tension. Now let me be clear: issues of women's equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam.
We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. I didn't fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. In the white community, the path to a more perfect union means acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination - and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past - are real and must be addressed. You don't defeat a terrorist network that operates in eighty countries by occupying Iraq. That is the world we seek.
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. God is still speaking. Like other black churches, Trinity's services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. It's a racial stalemate we've been stuck in for years. With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
