The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
In this election, we offer that choice. He is a man who served his country as a U.S. Marine; who has studied and lectured at some of the finest universities and seminaries in the country, and who for over thirty years led a church that serves the community by doing God's work here on Earth - by housing the homeless, ministering to the needy, providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries, and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS. And when one of his chief advisors - the man who wrote his economic plan - was talking about the anxiety Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a "mental recession," and that we've become, and I quote, "a nation of whiners." Well it's time for them to own their failure. And yet Al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own.
Tonight is a particular honor for me because - let's face it - my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely. When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they're going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return, and to never ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace, and earn the respect of the world. In the end, that's what this election is about. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. Today there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in America, most of them working in our communities, attending our churches, and contributing to our country. And today, whenever I find myself feeling doubtful or cynical about this possibility, what gives me the most hope is the next generation - the young people whose attitudes and beliefs and openness to change have already made history in this election.
E pluribus unum. What we have already achieved gives us hope - the audacity to hope - for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. He does not say health care or the economy. So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America. I have made it clear to the Iraqi people that we pursue no bases, and no claim on their territory or resources. This tolerance is essential for religion to thrive, but it is being challenged in many different ways.
That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe. Not this time. So don't tell me that Democrats won't defend this country. They have killed in many countries.
I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. Six million Jews were killed - more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today.
Thank you.
