Obama Ipsum

These things we share. And despite the costs involved, America's commitment will not weaken. It is based upon cultural and historical ties, and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied.

Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. That is why I intend to personally pursue this outcome with all the patience that the task requires. For many years, Iran has defined itself in part by its opposition to my country, and there is indeed a tumultuous history between us.

I thought of the 900 men and women - sons and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors, who won't be returning to their own hometowns. The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. But what the people heard instead - people of every creed and color, from every walk of life - is that in America, our destiny is inextricably linked. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own. The Palestinian Authority must develop its capacity to govern, with institutions that serve the needs of its people. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons.

We believe that everyone, everywhere should be loved, and given the chance to work, and raise a family. I do so recognizing that change cannot happen overnight.

So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. Likewise, many Israelis recognize the need for a Palestinian state.

Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
