The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
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. That is why I ordered the removal of our combat brigades by next August.
As William Faulkner once wrote, "The past isn't dead and buried. And it is on their behalf that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as President of the United States. It is based upon cultural and historical ties, and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied. That is in Israel's interest, Palestine's interest, America's interest, and the world's interest.
Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren't always expressed in polite company. And when one of his chief advisors - the man who wrote his economic plan - was talking about the anxiety Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a "mental recession," and that we've become, and I quote, "a nation of whiners." That together, our dreams can be one. Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust. For decades, there has been a stalemate: two peoples with legitimate aspirations, each with a painful history that makes compromise elusive.
That is one option. The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great - a promise that is the only reason I am standing here tonight. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal, and we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words - within our borders, and around the world.
And fellow Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents - I say to you tonight: we have more work to do. That's why pastors, friends of mine like Rick Warren and T.D. Jakes and organizations like World Vision and Catholic Charities are wielding their enormous influence to confront poverty, HIV/AIDS, and the genocide in Darfur. Much has been made of the fact that an African-American with the name Barack Hussein Obama could be elected President.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
