The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
But we also know our conscience cannot rest so long as the war goes on in Iraq. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores - that includes nearly seven million American Muslims in our country today who enjoy incomes and education that are higher than average. That does not mean we should ignore sources of tension. Tomorrow, I will visit Buchenwald, which was part of a network of camps where Jews were enslaved, tortured, shot and gassed to death by the Third Reich. Israel must also live up to its obligations to ensure that Palestinians can live, and work, and develop their society.
The hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores. I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family's premiums by up to $2500 a year. But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away - not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream.

This is important because no development strategy can be based only upon what comes out of the ground, nor can it be sustained while young people are out of work.
Each of us in our own lives needs to do what we can to help the poor. If you have health care, my plan will lower your premiums. So let us agree that patriotism has no party. 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. Too much blood has been shed.
But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. We will all have to make concessions to achieve this. It is on your lips and in your heart. Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. John McCain likes to say that he'll follow bin Laden to the Gates of Hell - but he won't even go to the cave where he lives.
Thank you very much everybody.
