The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
A belief in things not seen. So one Sunday, I put on one of the few clean jackets I had, and went over to Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street on the South Side of Chicago. It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children. Now let there be no doubt. Rather than remain trapped in the past, I have made it clear to Iran's leaders and people that my country is prepared to move forward.
There is a young, twenty-three year old white woman named Ashley Baia who organized for our campaign in Florence, South Carolina. Well it's time for them to own their failure. That does not mean we should ignore sources of tension. Iraq's sovereignty is its own. Threatening Israel with destruction - or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews - is deeply wrong, and only serves to evoke in the minds of Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve. That is why we welcome efforts like Saudi Arabian King Abdullah's Interfaith dialogue and Turkey's leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations.
More work to do for the workers I met in Galesburg, Ill., who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that's moving to Mexico, and now are having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay seven bucks an hour. That's the promise we need to keep. But what I will not do is suggest that the Senator takes his positions for political purposes. "We cannot walk alone," the preacher cried. We will open centers of scientific excellence in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and appoint new Science Envoys to collaborate on programs that develop new sources of energy, create green jobs, digitize records, clean water, and grow new crops.
Universities and states, including Illinois, are taking part in a divestment campaign to pressure the Sudanese government to stop the killings. And it's a testament to what we can achieve when good people with strong convictions stand up for their beliefs. It's a story with a simple truth: that violence is a dead end.
Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. There is so much fear, so much mistrust.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
