They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted. 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. I'll invest in early childhood education. The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road Map are clear.
Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask? Why not join another church? And I confess that if all that I knew of Reverend Wright were the snippets of those sermons that have run in an endless loop on the television and You Tube, or if Trinity United Church of Christ conformed to the caricatures being peddled by some commentators, there is no doubt that I would react in much the same way Now, I don't believe that Senator McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans.

But my journey is part of a larger journey - one shared by all who've ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America - to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality.

And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East. I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States, and I have ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed by early next year.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
