Obama Ipsum

I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton's Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. And when the first Muslim-American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers - Thomas Jefferson - kept in his personal library. No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons.

Now, I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans. That is the responsibility we have to one another as human beings. Around the world, we can turn dialogue into Interfaith service, so bridges between peoples lead to action - whether it is combating malaria in Africa, or providing relief after a natural disaster.

It is where our union grows stronger. I believe that as hard as it will be, the change we need is coming.

And that it's not enough to just believe this - we have to do our part to make it a reality. But we also know that government initiatives are not enough. And it's a testament to what we can achieve when good people with strong convictions stand up for their beliefs. 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.

At every opportunity, they've told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their Church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage; school prayer and intelligent design. Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO bonuses; and the time to protect Social Security for future generations. Indeed, faith should bring us together.

Thank you.
