The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slaveowners - an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. This is the reality in which Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up.
And until we do, our conscience cannot rest. To Chairman Dean and my great friend Dick Durbin; and to all my fellow citizens of this great nation;
The hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. Because in the faces of those young veterans who come back from Iraq and Afghanistan, I see my grandfather, who signed up after Pearl Harbor, marched in Patton's Army, and was rewarded by a grateful nation with the chance to go to college on the GI Bill.
The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. 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. This time we want to talk about how the lines in the Emergency Room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care; who don't have the power on their own to overcome the special interests in Washington, but who can take them on if we do it together. I would not be running for President if I didn't believe with all my heart that this is what the vast majority of Americans want for this country. 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.
My father, who I didn't know, returned to Kenya when I was just two. God is still speaking. On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For peace to come, it is time for them - and all of us - to live up to our responsibilities. But it should be their choice.
Thank you.
