"I don't want to claim that God is on our side. As Abraham
Lincoln told us, I want to pray humbly that we are on God's
side. And whatever our faith, one belief should bind us all:
The measure of our character is our willingness to give of
ourselves for others and for our country.
These aren't Democratic values. These aren't Republican
values. They're American values."
