“ America is not – and never will be – at war with Islam. We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security. Because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.

I voted for this man. It was the first vote I could cast in any US election. This man is an inspiration and will continue to be for years to come….these are the types of things that are recorded in history books. And I voted for him. :)
