Obama Ipsum: But for all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream, there were many who didn’t make it – those who were ultimately defeated, in one way or another, by discrimination. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal, and we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words – within our borders, and around the world. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. I know there is debate about this issue. Meanwhile, the struggle for women’s equality continues in many aspects of American life, and in countries around the world.
