Obama Ipsum

Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. And just as we keep our keep our promise to the next generation here at home, so must we keep America's promise abroad. You don't defeat a terrorist network that operates in eighty countries by occupying Iraq. No single speech can eradicate years of mistrust, nor can I answer in the time that I have all the complex questions that brought us to this point. And we will welcome all elected, peaceful governments - provided they govern with respect for all their people.

I will eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow. This country of ours has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich.

But I also know that human progress cannot be denied. It's a faith in other people, and it's what brought me here today.

They know they have to work hard to get ahead - and they want to. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. These people are a part of me. But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush ninety percent of the time. We are the party of Kennedy.

That's not what I'm talking about. 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. I would not be running for President if I didn't believe with all my heart that this is what the vast majority of Americans want for this country. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with. And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country - you, more than anyone, have the ability to remake this world.

Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.
