The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves. A lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one's family, contributed to the erosion of black families - a problem that welfare policies for many years may have worsened. Iraq's sovereignty is its own. But we have a responsibility to join together on behalf of the world we seek - a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have come home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected.
And I'll invest 150 billion dollars over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy - wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and five million new jobs that pay well and can't ever be outsourced. America, we cannot turn back. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. For instance, in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation.
Again and again, we've seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available. Not with an economy to fix and cities to rebuild and farms to save. Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support.
That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted at least, most of the time. John Kerry believes in the Constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties, nor use faith as a wedge to divide us. I'm talking about something more substantial. And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. This too is part of America's promise - the promise of a democracy where we can find the strength and grace to bridge divides and unite in common effort. Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has played a role in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S.
I didn't fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. And if we can do that - if we can embrace a common destiny - then I believe we'll not just help bring about a more hopeful day in America, we'll not just be caring for our own souls, we'll be doing God's work here on Earth. And nothing will change. Now, I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans.
Thank you, and God bless America.
