The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
This time we want to reject the cynicism that tells us that these kids can't learn; that those kids who don't look like us are somebody else's problem. We want to talk about how to bring them home from a war that never should've been authorized and never should've been waged, and we want to talk about how we'll show our patriotism by caring for them, and their families, and giving them the benefits they have earned. So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, and who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can help all of our people achieve justice and prosperity.
Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who've been all too eager to exploit what divides us. It's the wisdom Moses imparted to those who would succeed him. I am emphasizing such investments within my country.
Tell that to the military families who shoulder their burdens silently as they watch their loved ones leave for their third or fourth or fifth tour of duty. As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. We meet at a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world - tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. There will be many issues to discuss between our two countries, and we are willing to move forward without preconditions on the basis of mutual respect. And fault lines must be closed among Muslims as well, as the divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to tragic violence, particularly in Iraq. This truth transcends nations and peoples - a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew.
They know those things. Segregated schools were, and are, inferior schools; we still haven't fixed them, fifty years after Brown v. Michelle and I are only here tonight because we were given a chance at an education. We may not agree on abortion, but surely we can agree on reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country. I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims.
Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach our kids to learn - they know that parents have to teach, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. I have a plan that would have already begun redeploying our troops with the goal of bringing all our combat brigades home by March 31st of next year. It's a faith in other people, and it's what brought me here today.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
